Hans,

no, no, I didn´t try to wash the dye out and I don´t think it is actually possible. ;-)

I developed a test film from my new lens, a 2,8/180 CZJ Sonnar (Zebra), and got some good and a bad news from that. Only a test film, but the light was beautiful and I actually wanted these images - but no, the god of light leaks struck my camera. :-(

Thats the bad, the goods are:

- I can put 13 images on a 120 roll (with a large safety margin).
- Fomapan100 looks sharp and nice and good and seems to be close to 100ASA with R09 1+40.
- when handling it in the dark it feels, tastes, smells like APX100 (just like Scala does)
- it is a charm to cut and file - it is flat
- it is the fastest drying film I have ever seen.

I used stabiliser instead of Mirasol (Photoflo) and the film was clean and dry within 25min - in a quite cold room, not a Mistral or Meteor drying cabinet. Woah.

No, I don´t think you can get rid of the tint, and I don´t think it matters. Just treat it like base fog.

thanks Roman.
Exactly my findings with this difference: I found the film to be rather curly. Perhaps I had an older batch. Waiting for your news how your negs will print.
Regards
Hans
