maco mitsubishi 100 35mm film?!?!?

[emraphoto]

i just bought 100 rolls of mitsubishi 100 asa b+w 35mm film for a very REASONABLE price (1.50 a roll shipped to my door). anybody have experience with it? from the general internet "rumours" i have found it appears to be basically apx 100 rebranded. produced by maco (german film and paper specialist).
looking for developing info and experience with rating it at 400...
cheers

I keep seeing people trying to peddle it on ebay, but to me 1.50/roll of 24 isn't that great of deal. If indeed, it is APX100, you can get a better price on bulk APX100 at freestyle photo or even www.ultrafineonline.com

When I ordered Ultrafine's house brand 125iso film, they sent me a bulk roll of APX100 as well (perhaps a mistake?)

hmmm

hmmm

ok... i do appreciate your efforts (and patience). question... if i am rating the film at 400 would i then assume i'd time it at the higher end of the time listing? ie; tmax developer states 4-6 min's. would 6 min's then suffice for rating the film at 400?

 

[emraphoto]

ps

ps

the site for mitsubishi say tmax developer 4+1 5mins at 20 degree's (at iso 100)

Fair to assume rating an ISO 100 film at EI 400 would tend to sacrifice shadow detail and boost contrast... if that's what you want. 🙂

I leant some rolls of my Gekko to a friend and he shot them at 400 and dev'd them in TMax developer. The results are here:
