I actually use it for Scientific work, though I have been unable to find a
lab in the UK that has a AR5 line to process the film, so I have to settle
for E6 giving the higher contrast/saturation.

I can say that after trying a couple of rolls one loaded in total darkness
and the other just normally inside a room with all the lights on, there was
no difference in them that I could make out.  However this I am sure could
vary when processed through AR5 as you get a much broader spectrum of tones
recorded with that processing.

I do however think that Kodak are right to have the warning on the packets
as otherwise people would leave them out of the tubs for weeks at a time and
that would certainly effect the film.  But as I said,  take everything Kodak
say with a pinch of salt, but I may not be wanting what they would term
standard results I guess ;-)  (e.g. creating images on LPF7 (lith film) but
no light what so ever ect.)

Anyway, it's great film and fun to use. I can't wait until the sun and
plants come out again here in the UK.
