Response to Contrast problem with TechPan

Hi again John. Yeah, I used to love Polapan. But I don't use anymore it since I'm processing my own film...Polapan--look at it the wrong way and it scratches right through!!! I've gotten used to loading, too. And (sadly), I have also noticed that, even at 11x14, with no more than 25% of the image cropped (on warmtone Ilford fibre), things start to fall apart. It is probably because I handhold--but with a 50mm lens at 1/250 sec, so...I'm confused a bit about the ISO 16 bigger grain thing, but it doesn't matter...I love tech Pan at 25. I'm trying to make it my regular film, and I find I'm using it in many cases where I would normally have shot with APX 100; I just have to remember to open up a bit less than normal or I blow out the highest highs. I'm curious about the results with Pyro, but I don't think I'll buy for a while yet. Thanks again John. Shawn
