It is super fine but has moderate contrast. I use it often. You can get a 100 ft. roll from Freestylesalesco for about $20.Be prepared for some minor printing problems if you use an average mini-lab becaure few are familiar with this film. The prints may come back with a magenta cast first time. Use a good lab or print your own and you will see what your lenses can do. I made an 11X14 test print of a shot of my neighbor's yard and thought there was dirt on the neg. Under a strong loupe it turned out to be the fine details of a cobweb!
