Has anyone used unfiltered chloro bromide multigrade paper exposed in-camera as paper negatives? Ilford-Harman datasheets indicate ISO from 100 to 200. In your experience, how did that work out in real world shooting?
Contrast - I've read somewhere that unfiltered paper is comparable to Grade 2.5. Has shooting with a yellow filter been effective in further taming contrast? Unless I'm mistaken, printing filters are not optically clear enough to shoot through.
FWIW I've tried Harman direct positive paper but would like to use other papers that might have an effective ISO higher than 3.

I've used Ilford RC VC, rated at ISO 6. Some info in this thread: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125008.

Contrast can be tamed by pre-flashing the paper.

That's the ISO standard and speeds for paper, not film. The equivalent film ISO is between 3 and 6.
