It's been a while, so I can't get real specific. However, I have used Arista's
Premium Half-Tome film, which comes in all sizes (I usually use the 10X12 size,
which is fairly cheap). I don't remember the EI, but it's probaly around 3 or
so - somewhat like paper. Dilution in Dektol was between 1:10 and 1:20,
depending upon the contrast of the scene.
