Subject: Off topic: Agfa Ortho
From: "Garbutt, Robert" <RGarbutt@ncrpexec.telstra.com.au>

Oh dear!  Instead of my requested 10 rolls of APX25, a friend travelling
overseas has returned smiling with 10 neatly wrapped rolls of Agfa
Ortho.   Reportedly the salesperson said it was just as good as APX25
but gave better contrast.

Has anyone ever attempted to use this film as a print film with close to
normal contrast?  Any recipes or experience with this sort of thing?
The data sheet only has instruction for a gamma of greater than 2.0.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Rob.
