Update on ultrafine extreme 400 120 film

[raytoei@gmail.com]

hi, (re-posting in this forum from a local forum),

Update on Ultrafine Extreme Film in 120 format.

I have been using Ultrafine Extreme and using HP5+ times for D76 and PQ Universal Developer.

I have also used Rodinal and HC-110 stand method, developing it for 30 mins at room temperature.

So far I find it okay to use, it is quite cheap, about 2.50usd per 120 format roll before shipping from usa.

here is a 6x6 grab shot

you can purchase the film online via the ultrafineonline website of on ebay.

the no.1 downside of using this film is: it curls a little, making it harder to scan than compared to tmax400 or even fomapan 120 (arista EDU) .

But overall, I would use it as a day to day film .

Also, ultrafine extreme in 120 format is to my gut feel a HP5+ film, i cannot conclude if the 35mm format is also HP5+.

cheers!

Thanks for posting, I've been wondering about this film. So which developer is that in your sample shot?

hi, the sample shot was done via rolleiflex 2.8e, and the film was developed in ID11 (aka D976).

I've never heard of this film. Where did you get it?

I have only shot one roll of this film (120) so far, so my sample is limited. I developed it the same way that I do HP5+ (HC110 dilution H for 11 minutes), but i did not have as much contrast as HP5+.
