    Extremely odd to not have notch codes in some sheets...

    I've been having great success of late with Pancro in 8x10" with Pyrocat mixed 2:2:100. I've just received another box and will try this batch with PMK in the Jobo using the Bergger Roto Additive to see which I like best. I think Pancro has a really good look to it, nothing like HP5+ but maybe closer to older Tri-X or something with a bit more grit.

    I'm guessing too that Bergger is not making a ton of this stuff, so any product and production refinements happening between runs are probably a little less frequent. I know they have made many improvements over the years though, and think it's a top shelf product. I also love their papers. I Like to support the little player as were need as many of them as possible to keep the medium alive and well.

    Unless some after market entity was cutting large sheets down to 45!

    Well, the film came from B&H, Bob, and everything looked like previous boxes. I actually haven't looked at these sheets--just couldn't feel the notch. Will pull one next time I am in the darkroom to confirm. And I agree with Tim--the film does have a nice look.

    Not saying B&H did it but someone that actually packaged it would be my guess.

    There was a really great copy film made by agfa
    I used it for making enlarged dupes for alternate process
    Hopefully this film will resemble that film

    There was also a really great (continuous tone, blue sensitive) copy film made by Kodak back in the day...and thank goodness, for those wishing to follow the enlarged (film) negative to alt contact print route - that Bergger is stepping up to the plate! I can only hope that this will be available in a multiple of sizes up to 20x24, and perhaps even larger.

    I know this doesn't help with the notch code but I was trying to figure out why the burn and dodge numbers on the box image Just use hash marks to count your film used.
    I sometimes put the year&month at time of opening and key milestones like #26 in a 100 sheet box. Lets me know my time table for use and when to order more. Or maybe I'm just OCD.
