Very nice! And interesting, is the Agfa Copex Rapid predictable, or did you need a lot of tests first?

Thank you. Yes the film behaves well when developed in Dokuspeed SL-N and exposed at EI 25 (I haven't tried other regimes). Having said that, even with this special developer you need to keep an eye on the scene contrast as the highlights can start to block up pretty quickly. It almost needs to be treated like a slide film for best results I find.

One of my favorite architectural studies from you, Gabe, even if the sexton has seemed to have misplaced his Swifter.

Thanks. In fairness the building is currently disused as far as I can tell, so a few cobwebs are to be expected

How does the Afga Copex Rapid compare to Kodak Tech Pan?

I've never shot the latter, so couldn't say. It does however have the distinct advantage of still being available, at least for now (I believe its production is discontinued).
