Hi AG, Mike and all.

I hope it will impair image quality to a lesser extent.

Mmmm, that's interesting. Any orientation of how much exposure will suffice
with such a slow film? (say, for instance, a 60W bulb at 4 ft. for 15
seconds)
I think a longer development time is always desired to get a higher D-max
(the *only* density here, though). Would 1+9 dilution of DD-X (even with
longer times) achieve a lower D-max than the standard 1+4?

I may give it a try. However, this time I'm not looking for the
top-of-the-tops D-max, because it's unlikely to watch this event with the
unaided (but filtered) eye. D=4 or 5 would suffice in order not to burn the
cameras ;-)
>Stay away from the Delta films as they have a frosted base.
OK. T-Max films are also to be avoided -- IIRC, T-Max 100 is particularly
unsuitable, even unsafe.

I've got a couple of these. I'll give them a try, too.
Again, thanks a lot to you all.
Enjoy,
