An interesting film with good elaboration in highlights and shadows. Great for "boring" gray lighting, with harsh aggressive lighting gives excessive contrast. These are superficial conclusions because I shot it only once
We should finally agree on that:
In the metric system, all measures are in lowercase (= minuscule) letter case and NOT followed by a point.
grams -> g
kilogram -> kg
liter -> l
millilitre -> ml (it used to be cc)
millimeter -> mm
centimeter -> cm
meter -> m
kilometer -> km
I tend to meter at 320, am mindful of shadows, and develop for 400.
For you guys exposing it at something other than 400, are you still processing as 400 or pulling it to match the exposure?

It only achieves a 400 speed rating if developed beyond “optimal”, so for a richly detailed tonal scale that contains sufficient shadow AND highlight detail, expose at 200 (or less) and reduce development time by 15-20%
Gr or gr stands for grains, which is used by many photographers in the dark room.Everybody knows it is grams, just not you...
FYI, Bergger Pancro 400 has restocked at Blue Moon Camera for the first time in nearly 2 years. Get it while you can. Its still under $7 per 120 roll.
Pancro 400 in 120 from Blue Moon just arrived. Expiration of 6/2024:
... I will post my results as soon as I have them ...
Same here. Shipping was super fast. I will be ordering all my film and paper from them from now on.
I will run a five-curve test of this film, processed, most likely in D-76. I will post my results as soon as I have them. I'm looking forward to working with this film.
Something to look forward to. Curious to know its real speed and its pushability
Is that going to be D-76 1:1, I hope, I hope!
I will probably start with stock D-76. From what I've seen, this film builds up contrast slowly, so 1+1 might need long development times for a curve family. It might be great for "normal" development, but I want to have a broad range of contrast, CI of about 0.4 - 0.9, or so. We'll see how it goes.
