Lucky SHD 100 - Your Experience?

[Roseha]

So the 4x5 I received came in a box that looks like that but smaller and contained the film inside two layers of plastic bags. I opened mine in a changing bag so I can't say for certain the bags are black/lightproof.

Thanks I wonder if they packed my 5x7 inside an 8x10 box? I guess I will leave it for now.

Edit: Refix is also advising to leave it in the outer box.

Do share your results here.

Didn't make it today but should tomorrow. If it goes well, I will spring for some 4X5.

Here's my experience with SHD100 (not to be confused with SHD 100 Pro), in factory-rolled individual cans of 35mm. The words on the boxes are mostly written in Chinese (see second image of my scanned box).

Putting aside the atrocious light piping that all SHD films have, it shoots fairly well. I like the very clear base with a easy-to-handle thinness (could be a candidate for reversal process?) My first roll I developed in Rodinal 1+50 for 10 minutes, I was happy with. Resembles Foma 100 in some aspects; nice contrast on a sunny day, easily scanned.

The second roll I developed in leftover Rollei Supergrain 1+12 for 6:00, and the gradation was very satisfactory. This roll had weird mottling even if the film was not expired. Was it the film? Was it the dev? Possibly user error? I'm not sure. Here's what that looks like (noticeable in the sky):

That's a very different type of pattern in the sky than what I normally see as mottling. Almost like some kind of chemical reaction within the emulsion itself. Strange for sure.

I saw mottling on the leader of factory loaded film. The bulk film has not shown this so far. Perhaps the factory
loaded film is an older batch.
