Re: [APML] P100f push 1

Hi and thanks! Herm.  I took the two images two days apart at Joshua 
Tree.  Temp was about 40-44 *F and humidity was low both nights.  Very 
little wind.  Both manually guided with focusing by the out-of-focus 
method + detachable 6x finder on the Nikon F3.  Telescope: 85mm SV. 
Mount: GM8.  

I really like the Fuji P100F, but realize the film shines best with 
longish exposures.  Its grain seems nearly invisible and its colour 
response is balanced with long exposures to 90min.  Single exposures can 
stand on their own merit, but now in the age of Registar and 
gazillion-stacked CCD images, two or more seems natural to up the colour 
density and further resolve and smooth things.  With a fast, autoguided 
scope of larger diameter, one can only guess how this film would 
perform.  You have such a system, do you not?

Admittedly, I've been thinking of hypering the stuff, as I believe Jerry 
did the with the slower Fuji positive films, but it seems a task better 
spread out among several adventurous sorts in order to get a rapid 
resolve.  It is a unique film, worth some serious consideration.  And 
with a smile, I might say its one of film's last noble attempts to 
compete with digital.  Stephen
