Its easy to handle, difficult to tear, seems to be sensitive to development times, but I"m not finished with it yet. I like its versatile iso ratings for travel. It will NOT scan in the Nikon 5000 however and that is a BIG PAIN IN THE REAR. cHEERS Rose Scollard writes: > I hadn't realized that Rollei was making emulsions now.
