Hi all,
Yes, film... ;-)

I'm planning to make a comprehensive testing of, ahem, ALL of my lenses...
in order to have some evidence to rationalize the collection, keeping the
best ones and selling the spares.

I could test several of them on the digital with adapters, but I'd prefer
film for this "definitive" test because of:

1) Some lens mounts aren't adaptable to my EOS body... and I have no E-P1
;-)
2) My EOS is not full-frame, and I want to be certain about quality even at
the very corners.
3) I don't want to be biased by sensor issues...

Due to cost I'd like to make it in B&W -- CA would cause blurring, anyway. I
can process B&W by myself.

Which is, according to your experience, the best film to get the most from a
lens -- besides the defunct Technical Pan? Since there's a LOT of film to be
used, availability in long rolls (I've got a bulk loader) is welcome.

Ease of scanning would be appreciated, too, but since my scanner is so-so,
I'll probably "shoot" the developed film with a high-enlargement macro
setup... fuel for another question -- reversed Zuiko 24/2.8?

Thanks a lot in advance,
--
