I had a roll of Washi-F Fluorographic film. Whacky stuff, lots of glow around the highlights and quite a bit of grain for a 100 ISO film but can create some interesting effects in the right circumstances. I had the film developed/scanned commercially and the negs are quite dense. Here are some examples taken using my MX, and either my K50/1.4 or K30/2.8.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Really like the look of this film Kris - "Stop!" is superb, sharp, grainy, gritty and with that slight glow you mention, I've been purely digital for a few years now but results like this do tempt me back to the dark(room) side

Love the composition on all three. The grain works really well on all of them, delivering some very pleasing shots.

Very nice set. I really like the texture and the tones of the images. My immediate favourite is no 2. I guess the "glow around the highlights" characteristic of the film is most prominent in the central part of the third image.

Whacky stuff, maybe, but I love the result. The first picture is my favourite and reminds me of some places I've stayed in when hiking (nice memories).

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.

I've never used any of these films because they are "special" shall we say. These look very grainy indeed for 100 ISO but the photos are nice.
