"I have long been a fan of Tri-X for 35mm photography but it is getting hard to find and very expensive so I've been looking for something else and Rollei 400S is my choice. I believe it is Agfa Aviphot film and it certainly benfits from some down-rating, which fits with Aviphot's ISO200 speed. I rate it at 200 in teh summer (when shadows tend to be darker) and 320 in the winter (when there is generally less contrast) and process it in Rodinal at 1:50 using a semi-stand technique that has drecreasing agitation during the first half of the development time then nothing to the second 12 minutes. The negatives hold good detail and have very modest grain, which is to my liking. I have yet explored the film's extended-red sensitivity. An Agfa datasheet for Aviphot is available at https://www.agfa.com/docs/sp/aerial/aviphot_pan200_2004-06-15_en.pdf"
