I just talked to a local shop for film (Photographer's Supply in San
Francisco) and they got in ten rolls as samples.  They didn't think it was
IR film at all.  They liked the grain (comparable to Tri-X) and thought it
had beautiful tonality.

Some of us *like* grainy look in photos, I will mention one more time.

Also, does anyone know if this is shipping in the US?
