I agree Richard, the result will be spot on exposure with an excellent
density of negative... however, if you send the film to the wrong processor
you will get prints back with muddy whites. This happened to me in reverse
when I used spot/shadow to photgraph a creosoted dark barn in
Cambridgeshire only to get back this ghastly hybrid of tones from the
machine developer. Since it was a B/W film, I should have known better and
printed it myself from the start - but I'm not that good either ;-)
