Flatness sure beats my early 23 roll film holders.... I process the 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheets in hangers 6-at-a-time in 1/2 gallon open tanks in the dark using D76 or HC110 Dilution B.

One of my favorite cameras is a very late Minature Speed Graphic with a spring back and a coated Kodak Ektar lens. The front and back shutters both work and the Kalart RF is still accurate. My second favorite is a Century with the much-maligned Graftar triplet that really does well.

Thanks go to the folks at Harman (nee Ilford) for offering this size film on a reservation basis!

My 12 boxes of 25 sheets of 3 1/4' x 4 1/4" arrived last week. Unfortunately I no longer have a camera of that size :( and I am shooting 4x5 :). I would like to sell it off, but I cannot offer it here.
