Yes. Please tell!

Looks like the cross feed of my Myford lathe.

I like grain...

Looks like nice film. The metal sheen is very pleasing!

Jim - I'm sort of an analog newbie - what is instrumentation film?

The grain is so stunning, I want some for myself - or at least to mimic.

Instrumentation film was made to be run through high speed / high frame rate cameras for photometric data gathering. Kodak originally rated this stuff at ASA 2000 or something like that. My initial guess was 800 in the Nikon but that still proved too optimistic. The shadows started opening up at 400 asa. It has a polyestar base and is thinner than usual 35mm film. This stuff has been at a continuous 36 degrees since 1989 or so. Even at that it has deteriorated significantly. It has quite a lot of fog.

Thank you for explaining that to me. Can't wait to see what's in store.
