I am tempted to say good riddance... I absolutely love it when it works, but it sure must be the bitchiest film ever.
Slow and medium speed development is safe and easy, but at these sensitivities, it is barely a match for Acros, T-Max 400 or any of the Rollei classic series - its only advantage is that you can load it into ancient cameras with limited shutter range regardless of weather, as you can decide at the first exposure whether you go 50, 400 or in between.
But push processing (where it would be excellent if it were consistently at its best) is a pain. It can be way better than T-Max 3200, but even if you sacrifice a blue-eyed virgin dodo in your darkroom sink prior to every development run, the outcome is a gamble. The process is on a extremely narrow margin between very coarse-grained overdevelopment and streaky regional developer depletion - trivialities like sweat traces on the tank reels and daily inconsistencies in the tap water may mess up the push development, and deliver ugly results. Almost three years into using it I still am at one failure out of four or five - too high a risk to take on anything that cannot be redone.
