I gave this film a try, using an old Minolta HiMatic 11, which may or may not be metering accurately, and I'm really stumped about the results. When I scan the negative I get BIG square grain and what looks like speckly digital noise. The first time I scanned I did it in B&W 16bit grayscale and it was not good. The second scans I made I scanned as a color negative and did a 16bit grayscale in the scanner and it was better, but still lots of BIG ugly grain. I like grain, but this is like squares of something in a repeated grid/line all down the frames. This film is designed to be developed in a one hour lab by color processing (and it seems that traditional B&W labs are becoming rarer by the day) so I don't know if this is how the film is or if it's the camera or the lab.
any ideas?
