Hi, I came across this thread about someone sharing his experiences with the Shanghai GP3 120 film:
http://www.apug.org/forums/forum232/115101-review-shanghai-gp3-120-black-white-film.html
Everyone remembers the infamous backing paper imprint on the film, causing everyone to shun this otherwise cheap alternative bnw film. However, something caught my attention, the reviewer said:
"...I predict, then, that the fog-and-numbers problem is that the paper backing leaves a deposit on the film, which, unless sponged off, dries; and interferes with scans of the film, producing bad results. Washing it off eliminates these problems."
If this is true, this means some serious salvation for my wallet
Any bros on clubsnap able to validate this claim?
