Ian, I do hope you ordered a mound of this stuff and have managed to keep a lot. Just place it on e-bay at say the reasonable price of say £200 per bulk roll with the tagline of "Enjoy that classic b&w 1950s look again!

You'd make a fortune but please stay in touch with us while on your new yacht in the Monte Carlo marina

I used a lot of FP3 Mike, but had to move on limited resources as a teenager, so only bought what I'd use

FP3 was a surprisingly good film, introduced first as plates in 1941, the major difference was FP4 had excellent hardening, FP3 was a softer emulsion and would easily reticulate if temperatures weren't tightly controlled.

When FP3 was released Kodak's equivalent new generation o9f modern style films Panatomic X, Plus X, Double X and Tri-X were quite new and way behind, in terms of fine grain and sharpness,
