In the meantime here's an update on the Bluefire Police Film: Sorry this is taking so long, but I can never predict when I'll be in. The film is a microfilm, which is how it gets its fine grain. In standard developers, microfilms have extremely high contrast and are unusable for pictorial work. The supplied developer is an ultra-low-contrast formulation specific to getting pictorial contrast with microfilms. You could also test the film with any low-contrast developer, but my experience has been that the Bluefire HR is the best combination of pictorial resolution and useable speed (EI 80). Thanks for your interest and let me know what you want to do.
