Anyone Use Shanghai GP3 Film in 4x5 and 8x10

[Tim Meisburger]

Yes, I was never going to take the shanghai. I've had a box sitting around for a year and not finished it because I was getting such inconsistent results. I've never really shot HP5, but like both FP4 and Delta. For color, I plan to shoot Velvia 50, if I can get it developed there. Otherwise, I guess Kodak Gold 200?

I loaded up on GP3 when it was being closed out back in the day, I have quite a few older boxes of 4x5 and 5x7. I've been using the newer 220 in my Blads and Mamiya C22/33's, I going on forty rolls with no defects so far. I've got some 4x5 loaded in the Combiplan holding tank right now, waiting for development.

The prices I see now discourage me to buy any more, I'd rather buy close dated FOMA for less money (which I know is a temporary good deal). I may get some of the newer 8x10 to try at some point, but not right now.
