Subject: pan film

Question
what exactly is pan film?  I use a cannon ae1P and like to shoot outdoor color scenic type stuff.  Is pan film something i might want to consider?  

Answer
If your talking about "tech pan" film, no you don't want to fool with it.  Doubt you could even get any because Kodak quit making it some time ago.  It as a film designed for scientific use.

If you're talking about Kodak Tri-X pan, then yes, give it a try.  It is a pro black and white film that has been around for many years and is well respected.  Of course you mention you shoot color... and it is black and white.
