Fortespeed 412

Update:

It seems that I wouldn't be able to order Fortespeed 412 from Fotoimpex;
they only ship via UPS (and ask 80 Euros to ship to Turkey - that's for
5 30x40cm packs) and I think it's illogical to spend 2x the product cost
for shipment only. I wish they were also shipping via regular airmail...

Anyway, I looked for Kodak papers and found out that there's absolutely
no Kodak papers around. So I decided to make trials with Ilfospeed RC
Deluxe (unfiltered speed: P500, filtered: P250, range with 00 filter:
140) and Ilford Multigrade RC Cooltone (unfiltered speed: P500,
filtered: P200, range with 00 filter: 180). I'll start my tests with
Cooltone because of slightly better range - and also it's more sensitive
to green light: Deluxe is virtually "blind" over 480nm, ITOH Cooltone
maintains the same sensivity up to ~ 540nm...

Will expose placing a 00 filter behind the pinhole. Yes, I know this
will lower the EI but I want to make use of the better contrast range
with the 00 filter (curve slope is milder compared to unfiltered
exposure). Does this make sense for you?

Regards,
Loris.
