Thanks for the information. I'll certainly look into it. I ended up grabbing some PanF on the advice of a guy at my local camera shop today. I'll give it a go over the weekend and see what it gives me in return. Thanks again for the advice, I'll certainly look into it.

Rob, If you get the chance get hold of and read "Monochrome Darkroom
Practice " the Ilford manual by the Focal Press. Perceptol is recommended by Ilford for the finest grain and highest resolution with FP4 or HP5...only downside is some loss of speed. ie: HP5 ASA 200 for condenser enlargers, ASA 320 for diffusion enlargers. Very good book for those interested in Black
and White work.
    72 exposure Ilford autowinder film is polyester base rather than
cellulose base . It is possible for the same "strength" to accomodate a 72
exposure film in a standard film cassette. Quoted from 1982 edition.
