The recent pyrocatHD tests I posted on Ed's site seem to indicate that the Fortepan400 may be as close as you'll get to a 'modern' film with a shoulder. It seemed to have a slight shoulder on both the pyrocatHD test and a subsequent Divided D-23 test I ran on some leftover film that I had exposed to a step wedge. I print mostly platinum, and need a lot of density range, so the Fortepan will be difficult to use unless I have a really high contrast scene. But for silver printers, it might be useful. The manufacturers claim it is an 'old style, silver -rich' emulsion, whatever that is supposed to mean.(posted 8163 days ago)As an aside, I noticed an old post asserting that Bergger film is the same thing as Fortepan. I have boxes of both, and it IS suspicious. They are in the same odd-sized box, have the same film notch, the same interleaving papers, and most tellingly, behave the same in every film test I have run. I know what I think...
