Gigabit vs. Tech Pan

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

I would like to hear about some of your experiences with this film. I'm wondering if it's comparable to Tech Pan. In case you're wondering, their web site is www.gigabitfilm.de Thanks

If you speak German, some discussions about Gigabit film were held on the German B+W forum, do some search, see link:

One of the latest Chasseur d'Images had a test a they concluded that Gigabit film wasn't any better than TP. It seems to have lower contrast, it's less red-sensitive and the grain isn't as nice (although it's very hard to see). Note that the film itself is pretty light so OTF flash exposure has to be corrected...

Haven't tried it, but I'll stick with TP...
