[QUOTE=TonyMiller;109857].....according to this blog author. Zorkiphoto.co.uk
The problem with subjective reviews of products like this is that comments are made without scientific evidence. For instance, grain can be influenced by the formulation of a developer but can only be measured by dragging a processed negative past the aperture of a microdensitometer and calculating the Selwyn Granularity from the jagged line.
While it would be appropriate to describe a B&W slide film as 'contrasty' or 'soft' (because the H&D curve of the emulsion is largely defined during 'ripening' at manufacture) the contrast of a negative camera film is entirely adjustable by the user on development, as most readers of FADU know.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a review of these films using the rigorous analysis described above!
