I see this stuff on eBay. $69.95 for a 9.5" x 125' roll.
But ... any one here get some? Any trouble cutting it?
How's the results? How does it compare to regular Plus-X?
Mike Scarpiti -- I'll bet you know! :)

TIA,

Collin

I have enough trouble cutting down 120 to 127 format, I shudder to think of
doing it that much. As for using it as sheet film -- is it the same thickness?

Kodak makes several films with "Aerographic" in their names. A
search of the Kodak site will find a lot of information on them.
Cutting it down should not be too difficult using a paper cutter but
beware that the film base is thinner than sheet film. This should not
be significant as far as focus goes but will make the film harder to
handle in the darkroom, it may give you some trouble if you use
conventional film hangers. Not a big deal, film pack film was on roll
film base so had a similar problem.
