Ultrafine Xtreme Black-and-White 35mm x 100 foot Film ISO 100 Roll

I home develop my film, as I am sure most buying this 100 foot roll will do. I found the grain & contrast to be reasonable but not fantastic, but for the price you don't expect fantastic. I've upped the contrast a bit by agitating twice as much (I use D-76) as recommended and shaving a minute off of the time.I will buy again.

i process mine the same as Ilford FP4+. Shoot at 120, process like that and get great results. Heard that it's the same stuff and i believe it. Dries flat, looks great no matter what i develop it in.

I like it

Worst film ever. At the recommended development times this film is super dark.

Not bad film. Decent grain, and nice density.The base is a little less stiff than the Kodak film I'm used to. It takes a slightly different technique to load it onto a film reel for developing - I had a little trouble with fold-over of the perfed edges the first few times.Still - a bargain.

Purchased this in hopes of getting some cheap, intermediate quality B&W film for use in exterior architecture / people / urban scene photography, where the goal was primarily to get practice in getting well-framed and exposed results out of some older rangefinder cameras.Image quality of the film, as developed in a couple of common developers (Ilfotec DD-x, Ilfosol 3) was good. Not my favourite, compared to say Acros 100, but definitely good enough for most purposes, and I suspect with further experimentation on developers and conditions, would work for most users.However - I found the film repeatedly does not feed properly in my cameras. Almost always, there is a frame slippage event (you can hear and feel it through the winder lever) at the Frame 2-3 boundary; often again a few frames past that; and then sometimes later on in each roll.I took some of this film and held it up against Acros 100, and my suspicions were confirmed - the Ultrafine Xtreme, or at least the 100' roll of it I have, has a small error in the sprocket hole pitch. That is - the hole to hole spacing is slightly too short, and over a span of 4 frames or so, it's enough that the holes don't want to line up properly with the film feed teeth in my camera. The result? Feed error and slippage of at least one sprocket hole at that point. Then, you start over, drifting out of spacing again.Overall for the price, I liked the image quality - but for me, at least in the cameras I would use this film in, this slippage error is enough that I won't buy this product again.

A very fine grain film. Excellent detail
