Re: Ilford SFX 200 film

["Tim Rudman" <tim.rudman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My comments were meant to be 'pro' the film. It isn't an IR film and people
should not complain that it isn't, or wish that it was. All the IR and
extended red films have their own characteristics and one should choose the
right one for the job , as the previous analogy with tools suggested. It's
great for the right job - and poor for the wrong one.
