Hi John,
I actually was referring to using their High Contrast Copy film to take normal
contrast photos. In other words, the article I was talking about tells how to
develop the film to reduce its contrast, and yield extremely fine grained Normal
photos, approaching a 4"x5" large format neg, using a 35mm (OM) camera.
Thanks,
Larry
