I used Ethol UFG with the old 80 ASA Plus X in the late 1950's and found it
to give printable negatives from ASA 5 to ASA 320 with ASA 200 being the
best rating.   The grain was quite fine.

I still use it occasionaly and will probably use it with some old Plus X I
just acquired that is about 20 years out of date but still functional.
