    @cjf Thanks, I was surprised how well this came out all things considered

    @mael2d4rk Yes it is. I tried it with E6 which produced nothing but you can see it worked pretty well in C41 chemistry. It's extremely thin and fragile film so I used a much lower temperature.

    I see ! that's what I thought. I have two rolls of it in my fridge, of this same version. The day I have color C-41 chemistry, I will definitely shoot it doing this, thanks for your respond :)

    @mael2d4rk Great! I was surprised how well it came out. 20 degrees and be really gentle with it, the emulsion wants to slide off the base so use wetting agent and try not to touch until its dry. This film is from 1973! I shot a few more sheets last summer but I haven't got around to processing it yet.

    @stevejack0 okay I see! Thanks! I'll take my time with it to make sure I don't ruin it yes aha. At wich ISO you rated it?

    @mael2d4rk I think this was 50 or 100 iso but I'm really bad at making and then keeping notes. I know for a fact that my first attempt (the shot of our garden) was only 10 iso and that came out pretty overexposed. I use a b&w 099 filter for all of them, I have no experience shooting it without a filter

    @stevejack0 okay! That was approximately what I was thinking about. And okay I see, thanks a lot for sharing your experience for this particular film :)

    @lomoskin Thank you! I must say I think I remember shooting the same local scene 5 times trying to nail the exposure for the processing temp and times that I've settled on. So it won't amount to much 🙂
