There is no film sharper than Tech Pan.
Go to www.kodak.com and search on tech pan. There is plenty of informatoin
on it. It produces extremely high contrast, high acutance, sharp beautiful
negative. It can be rated up to 200 or more with fine results. Different
developers, development times and ASA ratings can vary the contrast over a
remarkable range.
