IF the weather was incredibly clear and sunny then id recommend this film, but at 12iso it really is too dark for most siutations.
Mine also seemed to suffer some form of light leak / image issue on the last 5 shots - see examples. My Canon 50e has never provided shots like this before.

Very high contrast. Very slow so a bit tricky to use. Completely transparent base, so very bright whites. Great.

Had an idea what I wanted to do with this - slow film, plus ND to really slow things down and get the water milky around the sunken boats when there was a bit of ripple on the water.

As fellow community members say, it's got a lot of contrast. As in black, white and that's more or less it.

I can think of a couple of things that might lend themselves to this, but lack of tone kind of sticks in my craw.

This is advertised as "high contrast" and they're not fooling around!

Shot my first of 3 rolls handheld on a bright but mostly cloudy day. With a fast prime that was just about possible despite the 12 ISO rating, although choice of aperture was pretty limited and did stray into camera shake territory a few times. Accidentally knocked the exposure compensation to +1 stop for about half the frames, which didn't help, so half the film was over-exposed by a stop. That was enough to make them VERY tricky to scan - accurate metering is a must with this film.

Despite that, the shots that worked really worked for the punch-your-eyeballs contrast that I happen to like, so can't mark the film down for my mistake! It's sharp, very low grain, and full of impact. I don't really get the chance around here but suspect it'd work really well for urban stuff and portraits of the right subject.

The film handles nicely, although does have a bit of curl once developed, and it scans easily when you've got the exposure right. Development was in HC110, dilution B, for 7:45 with 10 secs agitation each minute. That seemed about right for the "good" frames but density built very quickly on the over-exposed ones.

Definitely one I'll be using (and buying) again!

The film has a lovely glow in the highlights.
Looking forward to shooting it in summer or with some studio lighting to get the most out of it.

The contrast is to die for, but concentration helps to get better shots

First time shooting on a film with ISO this low, and to be honest it has quickly become a personal favourite.
Like my fellow reviewers on here I want to mention the contrast, because it really is excellent.
The low grain combined with the high contrast gives photos a real sharpness even when overexposed (like
many of my shots were).
Great film for shooting brutalist architecture and fun to macro with, the slow speed can give water a really ethereal effect.
I'm looking forward to trying this film again with portraiture.

Extremely high contrast! Because the film is so slow grain is really minimal. The film is orthochromatic, which means it's not sensitive to red light so don't try shooting this with red filters! Did I already mention how high contrast this film is?

If you want to shoot wide open on a sunny day or want to experiment with low ISO film this film is definitely worth trying.

Really like the highlight glow.

I was blown away by the quality of this film, the contrast is superb and the grain is extremely fine.

Being a manually spooled ISO 12 film, you have to be careful of what camera you use.

This film delivers excellent results and for a very cheap price, would highly recommend.

I was blown away with how sharp this film was. Basically zero grain, insane detail and a completely transparent base. The contrast of the film is very, very high though - It worked a treat for seascapes stopped down to f22. The colour of the film base is also strange, it's a pale white. Everything about this film is so unique and interesting, it's more of an experience than anything else. Wonderful!
