I used to buy 100 ft rolls of it all the time before I stopped rolling my own or having my assistant do it. When Kodak came out with Tmax 100 to replace Panatomic-X it was BS. I've been scrambling ever since. Pan F I never loved as much except for in 120. If you had a whole freezer full I would be more interested but it would just be delaying the ineviblity of a real cruel world without Panatomic-X. I get a smile every time I reprint an old portfolio piece and it is Panatomic-X and it is a joy to print and has a glow that I am not getting now. But things are looking up. Mark Rabiner I always shot it at 50 and so did lots of other people.
