| A friend is giving me two rolls of 35mm TechPan to try out, so I'm looking for advice on how to shoot and process it. I suspect I'll probably shoot it in an urban environment, rather than using it for landscapes. Any advice on filters, things to avoid and and ways I can use this film to its advantage would be appreciated. Also, I'm going to need to find someone that can process it. Thanks in advance,

| I've found that Praus advertises that it can process TechPan using Technidol, so I'll be sending the film there for processing. Any thoughts or suggestions on technique. I thought it might be worth trying on my upcoming trip next month to the Philippines. Thanks,

That's cool, Jason!
Robert, I've only ever shot one roll of Tech Pan, and I decided I don't like it. It's also discontinued, so I'm leaving it alone. If I were you with only two rolls, I'd shoot it according to dr5 Chrome. Dave has some specific processing info on his page, here is a link: http://www.blackandwhiteslide.com/tp.html
It would take one roll to calibrate the roll and then you'd only have one left. dr5 has it dialed in for you already. Then you'd have a positive as original for your scanning adventures.
Hope that helps.
