One of the last evenings restaurants around here could have outside seating, with safety protocols re: Covid-19 - before the snow and cold arrived. It looked so idyllic, having a good meal beneath lights with friends. Happily I could brace my camera on a nearby wall to steady for a slow shutter.
Hi Colin, I think this pattern must be in the negative. I wonder if it is a lack of the layer on the film that many people call anti-halation? Maybe the APX400 did not have it? My negatives on Fuji Acros and Kodak Panatomic-X do amazingly well with bare light bulbs, but they are much slower films. When people experiment with re-spooled movie (cine) film, I sometimes see this type of blooming. Regardless, it is pretty interesting.
Certainly possible -- it was a bit of a lark that I tried this film. I remember really liking the APX25 and 100 films, and I was looking for a few 400 speed rolls.
It's nice film, not sure about the grain yet (I haven't wet printed this and I'm hesitant to judge a film completely without doing that), but this is one thing to think about!
