[LargeFormat] J & C Film

[Stuart Phillips]

I'm using it and like it. I develop in Rodinal, although I may try it with
another developer.  According to who you ask it's supposed to be either
Forte or Bergger. It's supposed to have more silver than modern films (hence
the comparison with Super XX). I think when this came up, Richard took issue
with the statement, asking quite reasonably, how much silver does it have?
How much does modern film have? What does it mean more silver? Richard
didn't answer the question and I don't think anyone else did :) I don't know
the answer, but the price is right and I like the results I'm getting.
