it's cheap and has nice tones. Works nicely I have the newer batch (2016) and has no backing paper marks. I've read on another forum that its the antihalation layer reacting with the backing paper ink that makes the marks. Solution is to pre wash the film (water comes out very blue) before putting the developer. What I currently hate about it is the letters "SGPF" (factory name perhaps?) come on on emulsion itself on top of the image and covers about 4mmx2mm off the image area so you'll have to crop your final image for scanning or printing.

What was your expiration date and was it in a silver plastic wrap? I've only been really happy with the 2016 stuff so far. I'm keep one roll on the shelf, unrefrigerated, and will check it in a year(if I'm still around) to see if there is the number bleed through like the stuff I got before. Time will tell I guess.
