That's true... I generaly shoot at EI 320, metering through the filter
and have very few bad picture (as far as the subject is good :-)

The problem with AR-5 is that very few peoples do it, only aerial
photographic survey labs, when they shoot EIR, which is not too often.
So you have to wait until they had a batch of their film to process,
and the developpers for 9.5" wide film doen't always fit with 35mm
film size. I asked to some friends at french survey.  They were OK
to do it, but asked more than 25$ per film !

Another thing to know about AR-5 is that the process is height temperature
and short time development (with 1/10 sec accuracy) and is sold for at
least 5 liters of each bath.  So it is definitively out of order for
small tank processing...
