Hi,
I use heaps of this film with and without filtration for portraits. It give
a nice glow to the skin, making it soft and hiding imperfections.  I have
always used a 25A.  I use the "sunny 16" rule when burning this film in
bright daylight.  If you calculate for the filter I almost always shoot it
at f11 and 1/125.  This allows me to handhold, and get good depth of field.

As I did before, I am please to send jpegs to anyone interested in seeing
some examples of portraits I have shot using this film. Just e-mail me
directly and I will send you jpegs.

Enjoy,
bob
