Re: [APML]: 37 films tested (was Gold Max)

OK, since I mentioned it, now I have uploaded the preliminary graphic
showing the black and white film spectral sensitivity.  Again, there is no
web page for this yet, so access it directly with URL

You will notice that there is a film shown in the graphic that Kodak hasn't
made in years, Panatomic-X.  I still have that stuff, so I ran a test on it
just for fun.  I knew it was trash for long exposure astrophotography, but
never realized just how really sorry the stuff is for long exposures.  The
average ISO for Panatomic-X over a two minute exposure is 7 (yes, seven!!).

Full b&w details forthcoming when the web page is finished.
