This is a test to determine the usability of a recently acquired batch of Kodak Panatomic-X film.
I did a test, exposing six frames starting with what the meter suggested for 32ASA, and added 1/2 stop more exposure for 5 more frames. The clip was processed in D-76 1:1 for 7 minutes. The best frame was the one that had one full stop over, but this was in the shade under overcast conditions. The exposure was 1 second at f8 (using my Retina IIIC, with Retina-Xenon lens). I'm satisfied that I can meter for about 16ASA to get shadow detail I like. I plan on processing another test clip in PMK.
