[APML] red sensitive B&W film

["Joseph O'Neil" <joneil@multiboard.com>]

	I have not tried this film myself yet in 35mm to see how the reciprocity 
failure is.  But take a look here:

	This was the film I was talkgn about earlier.  The spectral curve goes 
just past 700nm.    For those of us in Canada, Eight Elm, the store I just 
talked about, sells it in 36 exp, 35mm rolls for $4.00 Cdn per roll - 
that's about $2.80 US per roll, give or take.  Don't knwo if they mail 
order to the USA - I suspect anyhow that Calumet in the USA would carry it.
	Never tried it myself in 35mm, but might be worth a look.  I tried a box 
of 4x5 for somedaylight work, and it's quite pelasant stuff to use, but a 
little slower than advertised.  Like Agfapan B&W films, it works best if 
you expose it one stop slower than advertised - IE: 400 ASA at 200, 100 ASA 
at 50, etc.

	One warning - do NOT order the 100 ISO version.  The 200 and 400 ISO 
version go past 700nm, but the 100 ISO version drops off at around 
650nm.  This is true for 35m and 4x5 formats.
