Re: Electron Microscope film info and 25 film developing Lucite rack
I've shot the Kodak SO-163 film quite a bit. (So has Ramiro.) Its spectral response seems similar to Ektascan, although it is much slower (EI 8) and finer grained. It also has no anti-halation backing so in certain circumstances you get halos around highlights. Taming the contrast has been difficult at times, but overall I think it's pretty high grade stuff. It slides right into a 4x5 holder along the 4" dimension, which is nice, and can be handled under a red safelight. The list price is nuts, though. I bought about 800 sheets for pennies (well, sixty bucks) from a lab that was switching to digital.
