Well, I have used both films but haven't actually
exposed a roll of each to the same targets in the same
camera. I also have some favorite test subjects including a
row of houses across the street. I probably have a hundred
pictures of these from my front yard. I will have to get a
fresh roll of the two films and try this. My usual developer
is D-76 diluted 1:1. This is included in the charts for both
films and should work well with them. I don't know when I
will be able to get to this, I guess I will just have to
make the time. The problem is that unless one is shooting
sheet film one is required to sacrifice most of two rolls of
fairly expensive film in order to shoot the subject at
nearly the same time in the same camera. I guess I could
bracket and use up more film plus compare the tone rendition
for several exposures.
