Re: [APML] PPF400 35mm Available

Don & all,

Just a word of caution.  This PPF could be very grainy if it is way
past expiration.  I would suggest buying a roll or two and shooting
test shots before going hog-wild and buying boxes of the stuff. :-)

My Lumicon PPF (batch 6201, exp. 08/2000) has become quite grainy
inspite of being refrigerated from day one.  This is the unhypered
stuff by the way.  I have no clue if the hypered stuff would be any
better or worse.
