It was lovely!
Grain is nicer than 35mm HP5 (in my modest opinion), sharp and good tonal range. It doesn't have the 'blocky' look I see in uprated ISO 400 film.

Yes that fits in with my experience in terms of using the next EI development time for DDX, skellum. This is about the Ilford speed for 6,400

In 120 it has very reasonable grain and as you say doesn't block up easily.

Mike,if it is going to be your film of choice or one you use frequently then it might be worthwhile considering DDX.
