As for spectral response, it is nearly equal to the Ilford SFX. It's 
background is identical too btw, both were born as traffic camera 
film, and both were and are available in long roll bulk.

If it comforts you: I haven't seen hoarfrost this winter either, nor 
freshly snow clogged trees (and followed by a clear sunny day, with 
or without nice cloud formations). 
These are tricks from Mother Nature you have to stock HIE for in
your freezer, and wait till the day comes....and shoot all of it
within a few hours....there won't be a next day for this....

Why don't we just collect stamps?....8-))
