Polypan F? You poor thing...

Call me "opined" (okay, opinionated), but there was a film well worth forgetting. I have long thought Ilford Pan F was a crapper to work with, but Polypan, no thanks. If you get good results from it, then kudos to you.

In my own way I'm just as bad, with Kodak Panatomic-X. At times I think I've cornered what is left of the market for Panatomic here in AUS, I have three 100-foot (30 meter) bulk rolls and about 20 cassettes of it left in my fridge. Also maybe a few 120 rolls. I keep getting offers for this stock but so far I've resisted, altho' with Tri-X going for AUD $300+ in Melbourne, I may be sitting on a small fortune. Not that I'm likely to use it up anyway as my film days are quickly passing me by.

So you and I are probably both about as crazy...
I love PolypanF, rate at 100ISO and dev in XTOL 1+1 or 1+3 is my go-to film in 35. When the rumor was out film is dead, I just bought film and no gear, and now I have 2 freezers full and lost my mojo, so is life.
