...PC-512 Borax and Pyrocat-HDC. It took me three weeks to produce this! Hope you find it insightful...

Very insightful review! Thanks Andrew.
It appears to be a very decent film that I should give a try soon though not for reversal.

Well, that makes a pretty compelling argument for buying a box of 4x5. It's cheaper per sheet than foma 100 and seems to be a solid emulsion

I just laid 286 loonies down for a 50 sheet box of 8x10. This stuff will make an excellent alt. film, and it's cheap! 50 sheets of FP4 would cost me around $650 (Cdn)!
Is it also availbale in 8x10? I could find only 4x5 and 5x7 on reflxlab site.

I ordered a box off of Ali Express...
And here I was expecting square negatives! #disaPOINTED
(I've seen those marks on trailer/leader as well, but with 35mm. It's seems to have no effect on film performance.)
If you are of the impatient sort, I believe these guys stock at least some of this film.
I say "some" because the 100' bulk roll I bought from them was drop shipped from China:

Yes, that was the biggest Hasselblad I've ever seen.
Really good review Andy and I can't wait for mine to get here. I fell lucky!

That's where my 12 rolls are coming from. They list 4X5 and 5X7, but no 8X10. Mine might be here by this week.

The twenty rolls of 120 came directly from China. The 8x10 box will, too. On the subject of the Hasselblad, it will happen SOON! Almost have the backlog cleared...
Just funning you on the Hasselblad Andy.
One thing I noticed in your video was that it stained pretty good in Pyrocat-HDC, but certainly not what I would call a heavy stain. I like the less curl of the base itself, but those odd piping leaks and the finger-like marks are weird. I just hope it stays at least at the quality it is now along with a very good price. I fear that some retail outfit will go for exclusive rights of distribution in North America. They would then set the price and not allow the parent company to undersell them in North America. The sky is falling, the sky is falling, Chicken Little. We'll see what happens I guess. Cheap 8X10 sheet film is impossible to find.

Reflx is located in China as far as I know. I've ordered some lucky film from them as well as some 127 stuff. And today I ordered some shd100 from them in 4x5 thanks to our resident bad influence

I would have bought some 127 B&W from them, but they don't handle that. I'm a first-time buyer from them and will wait to see how my order goes before I buy more on their site.
I think I've made 3-4 orders from them now. Stuff ships through a weird courier to the US but it's pretty quick and I haven't had an issue yet. For b&w 127, I ordered some gp3 from http://etonephoto.com/ and they were similarly quick.
I'm going with Kentmere 200 for cheap film.
SHD 100, Handled normally you got weird "finger marks" and light piping,. "Do You Feel Lucky?".
Unacceptable!
10 minutes of weird music and subtitles,???
I
XTOL.
Thanks for your work!!!

Asked before, but Andy- with your graphs and what they show, which film in comparable as far as having the same graph? Just trying to get an idea of which film is closest to SHD in look?

What software are you using for the curve fitting the plots? A speadsheet program of some sort, or something more esoteric?

I used to use a pencil and a flexible ruler. For the past few years, I've been using photoshop.
