Onthe plus side, this film makes 120 B&W photography very cheap and it can be great for testing cameras for light leaks and flaws as if you waste film, then it's unimportant. The grain is ok, pretty good in fact. Pictures are nice and sharp if you develop it well.

It isn't tolerant of variations in development. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally and my temperatures varied by about a degree, two max when I developed the roll below. Any of the other films I use would tolerate this and still give me superb results, however, this film reticulated beyond anything I've ever seen. So if you want to use it your process must be flawless.


And lastly, the worst crime of all is the backing paper. Every single time I shoot this, no matter which camera I use, without garnering light leaks you are guaranteed impressions of the design of the backing paper in your images. Every. Single. Time.


@chetsellars though if the manufacturers are listening, all it takes is to sort out the backing paper, put the same protection in as other films have instead of just back paper, and sort out the curling and it would be ok.


This film is fine for what it is, its a cheap everyday film, of course your gonna get crap results out of a holga or a diana they have plastic meniscus lens, i have shot this film in a Kiev 60 and it gave great results. Also you cant really compare this film to ilford or kodak as they cost around 3 times the price. I've found the best way to tame this film is to develop it in rodinal 1:150 for 1 hour with 2 agitations at 30 minutes. If your looking for a better cheap film then try my two films of choice fomapan 100 and lucky shd 100.


"Like trying to wrestle a snake", Great simile! I had to press the negatives with heavy books a few hours before scanning the GP3 trying to flatten the curl. I think I still may have a few more rolls of this to shoot. I will not buy it again and rather spend the money on some Ilford or Efke.


@neanderthalis & @brandkow93 you could try 'pulling' some shanghai? ;) Couldn't help myself - though in all seriousness you can pull Ilford FP4 to 50 iso. Probably even 25 - those Ilford films seem to be almost bulletproof.


@brandkow93 in the article I was reading, Adox is connected to Efke manufacturing. If so, it will be in serious jeopardy. I just picked up some Adox in Los Angeles and was told by the shopkeeper that the negatives were delicate. He suggested using a "hard fixer". Does that sound correct? I do not process my own film so I need to discuss this with my local developer.


@neanderthalis Ohhh yeah crap i forgot that, im hopeing it is just the brand Efke that is being stop and not the company shutting down.. Sounds right, though im sure any fixer will work ok, i just used a normal fixer. And just tell your developer the emulsion is very delicate and im sure they will take care of it.


GP3 is great film. OK, the curl can be a bit of a nuisance, but it can deliver almost grain-free, beautifully toned, sharp negatives. I get good results by semi-stand developing it in 510-Pyro diluted 1:300 for 60-70 minutes, agitating three inversions every ten minutes. Here's an example from my Flickr photostream www.flickr.com/photos/borninyork/8000631626/in/photostream I've never experienced frame number print through or backing paper shading either.


Hi, Thanks for the info. I am going to try this film as the price and result of sharpness. Would recommend you to try again as far as I know. The process parameters variation should not give results like last few pictures. There should be something wrong other than temp varies.


I am really surprised because I have had very good results with the Shanghai GP3. It's one of the rare film you can find in any format and I tested it in 620 and bought many rolls in 127 and it worked really nicely !


December 26, 2023, 4:35 PM Welcome to your first day, recruits! As the latest members of the Zootopia Police Force, get ready to hop in your cruiser and take to the streets, doing what it takes to keep your city safe, even while a certain cloven-hooved criminal is now on the loose. Welcome to Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, Disney's latest dark ride and the centerpiece of the newly opened land in Shanghai Disneyland.


While perhaps not groundbreaking, it does offer Disney's first trackless system in mainland China, taking guests on a fun romp through a combination of screens, Audio Animatronics and practical sets, on a ride-along mission with Nick and Judy.


The story starts, of course, in the queue. You enter the Zootopia police department to be greeted by the fan-favourite Officer Clawhauser sitting behind is desk, surrounded by snacks and Gazelle merchandise. The Audio Animatronics here are impressive, although I found their faintly glowing "screen eyes" a little disconcerting. He gives a haunting retelling of the "before times," when predators still ate prey, helping to contextualize the land for anyone unfamiliar with the movie. He alternates that tale to take the time to gush about mega pop star Gazelle, who will be hosting a Unity Concert that night to celebrate Zootopia Day.


From here, we wind through the rest of the precinct, followed by the Zootopia prison, passing Bellwether's old cell, where it appears she has chiseled her way to freedom a la Shawshank Redemption. (In fact, is that her climbing in the vents?)


Just before boarding we're greeted by a second Audio Animatronic, this time Chief Bogo, who briefs us fully on the situation. Bellwether has kidnapped Gazelle in order to prevent the Zootopia Unity Concert, and it's our job to join Officers Nick and Judy, who are hot on Bellwether's tail. This isn't the sweet-faced manipulator from the movie though - Bellwether has turned hard in prison, complete with earrings and a purple mohawk. As lead Imagineer of the land Dustin Schofield noted earnestly, "prison changes a sheep."


Imagineers took full advantage of Zootopia's rich and varied ecosystem "neighborhoods," starting in Tundra Town, moving on through Sahara Square, the Rainforest District, and culminating downtown as we chase down our woolly villain.


The first half of the ride relies mostly on physical sets and multiple Audio Animatronics. Much like the rest of the land, the experience is full of jokes and gags, including getting sidetracked through the naturist colony and spotting what I suspect might be Disney's first drag-performing Audio Animatronic "Gurlzelle."


The latter half of the ride relies more heavily on large wrap-around screens, as our sleuthing evolves into a high-speed chase after Bellwether. Ultimately, thanks to an elephant-sized ice cream and giant donut (both available for purchase just outside...) Gazelle is rescued, justice is restored, and all is right again in Zootopia.


The experience ends as we head to the Unity Concert for one more Audio Animatronic, this time Gazelle performing her trademark song from the films "Try Everything," which has been a staple of Chinese classrooms and KTVs for years and is sure to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Bellwether, meanwhile, is presumably headed back for her life behind bars.
