	An APX S 200 film has been ont he retial shelves here in Canada for about
6 months now.   It comes in 35mm only, 36 exp.  Sells for anywhere from
$7.00 to $10.00 CDN per roll.  I tried it once, and from that single roll,
I would say it is on par with Ilford' SFX 200, meaning just  alittle more
red sensitive, but not a real IR film.  Perhaps the 400 version is
different, as I ahve never seen it on sale retail.
