Ever heard of this film? I have one here in my fridge, but can't find anything about it.

Yup, grainy as Hell. It was discontinued in the early 1990s.

I used 16mm 4X in the 80's. Very handy in low light situations, and had plenty of "character".

The ASA 400 rating could not be read correctly by most cameras (kinda like the present 64 Ektachrome situation.) This undoubtedly led to complaints.

It has a silver antihalo layer that needs the bleach step to remove, unlike other B&W films. So it cannot be processed to a negative image, you would just wind up with poor quality black leader.

Because of the additional bleaching required, you might ask your lab if the new B&W reversal process will work okay with it.

did some great available light stuff in cuba last year,with this stuff...
probably needs a fraction extra exposure...will be a bit flat..
nice and grainy...process using same chemicals as tri x reversal s8...
did mine at yale,they did a great job....
they also processed 2 rolls as a negative,instead of reversal...
