[photo-3d] Techpan

FWIW --

For TechPan experimenters I offer the following tidbit. 

The monster development page says you can get full-
range gray scale images using Techpan developed in
Diafine. Not true! The images are still excessively
contrasty. I haven't tried the POTA formulas because
they are expensive and unstable. Ditto C41 and 
Technidol. 

For me the Scala is unacceptable -- very limited
dynamic range, poor blacks, and a disturbing 
green cast to everything. I know they are supposed
to remove the green dye during processing, but I
haven't seen a Scala slide yet wasn't green. Besides,
it's a bit too fast for comfortable use in a Realist.
