Re: [APML] New B&W film

Interesting looking film. As you mentioned the reciprocity failure rate
is high. Much like the Ilford films. Hopefully it will benefit from
hypering.
The three layers with different sensitivities is an interesting idea, I
believe that the Fortepan 400 has both 50 and 400 ISO layers.
The PET base has me thinking that it started out in life as an aerial or
traffic camera film. From there it may have had improvements to make it
more suitable for other purposes.
I have a friend in England on business till the third week of December,
I have asked him if he goes anywhere near Blackfriars Bridge.
