I've used it a little.  It works pretty well - it is only about ASA 40,
though.  The grain is quite large for such a slow film, and it has a
weird silvery backing on it with "raster lines".  Makes a nice
diffraction grating, in fact.  But, if you need slides in 60 seconds
(plus mounting), it's wonderful stuff.  And, considering the cost of
film + processing, it's about the same price as (say) Ektachrome, at
least in the larger sizes.

The "processor" costs $75+ (it was $75 with a state discount), so you
have to be doing a lot of film to pay it off, the film is about $10/roll
(again with state discount) for 36 exposures (and about $8 for 12
exposures).

It will work in ANY 35mm camera - we're using it in our frame buffer
camera unit.
