Hi !

Hmm, can't agree totaly. I shot and developed my first roll of SFX 
this weekend. I used my Canon T90, a Heliopan #29, rated the 
film as 200 ASA and measured throught the filter to get a starting 
point. The negs look quite good - very contrasty with right exposure.
The Wood-effect is clearly visible on some images. Green leaves 
directly illuminated by the sun (about 3 pm) look much lighter than 
on panchromatic film - almost white. On panchromatic film (TMAX 400)
with same filter those leaves look way darker...
Without direct sunlight there's no big difference but the leaves 
still look a little bit lighter.
Of course the effects aren't as dramatic as on Kodak HIE but the film
does what I expected...
So much for my first roll...

Cheers, Oliver
