To Jason and the group,

Sorry, I don't have any way to measure this floppy stuff Kodak sent for me 
to test. It is thin and very hard to handle, but it sits pretty well in the 
glassles carriers of an Omega enlarger.

The dye shedding I reported yesterday is gray; the film is "darkening" my 
D-76. Anybody have an opinion as to whether I should use the soup for other 
film?

I did another fingerprint test by shooting on a white background. Sorry to 
say the film is not fingerprint proof. I puposely put my prints all over a 
sheet, and many show on the dark neg background, but probably no more than 
any other BW film. I will continue loading the new film without latex 
gloves.
