Likewise-have used dozens of rolls of the 25,50 and 100 in 120 no probs. However HP5+ will likely be my standard film in ULF as I already use it more than any other.

An Example

Here's an example. This was an 8x10 PL100 negative contact printed on Kentmere Kentona paper. You can see a light streak running vertically just slightly right of center. Darker streaks on the left and right . Its a lot more evident in areas of no texture, like clear skies. In this one, it doesn't show up too bad, but it still shows especially to the experienced eye.

The first several sheets from this box seemed OK. It still works well enough on subjects where the entire frame is filled with good texture. But otherwise, it sucks. It makes me kind of scared to get another box, even though I think this is an excellent film.
