Re: (rshsdepot) Kodak Confirms Plans To Discontinue Kodachrome 25 Film

[David Wayne Hurd <dave_@_the-hurds.com>]

Kodak Tech Pan film is very nice for bright scenes. I expose it at an ASA
of 12 (yes, twelve) and process it myself in Kodak Technidol developer,
Sprint chemicals for the rest of the process. It is also great for
portraiture.

The higher the ASA you shoot it, the more it reacts like Kodalith film.
