Some months ago, I did some shots on Konica using a Heliopan RG 715,
which is - according to the manufacturer - equivalent to an 88 A. I
wasn't too pleased with what I got. Grass and leaves showed about the
same white to light gray tone as they do with a #25. Contrast, however,
increased considerably. IMO, the pics were simply too hard. But to me,
Konica is a high-contrast film anyway ;-)...
If I remember right (didn't take notes that day...), the film
practically got about 1 stop slower than with a red #25. 

All the best, 

Eckhard
