I picked this information in the news a few days ago: A scientific team (french, I think) have found an additive (silver by-product) which, when added to the ph otographic emulsions (at1/10.000), makes them 10X more sensitive without affecti ng the grain! They said the technology will be applied to X-Rays films at first and then to photographic emulsions by the next three years. Mmh... freezing move ments (water falls, wind, people etc.) at 1/500 f22 on fine grain sheet films, s ounds nice! Has someone heard of too? (No, it's not a late fools'day hoax!)
