Yes, i did notice the failure rate after I posted my response. Not an easy one by the looks of it!

Still, it's given me food for though that's for sure:)

From the looks of things it seems to be that using a grad on B&W wouldn't hurt at all and in the end is probably more beneficial than trying to faff around in the darkroom. In a way, it's almost like those that foul things up digitally and just try to recover in PS or LR etc.

How about reciprocity failure? Does this come into B&W film? And what ISO 50 films are out there?
There's Ilford's Pan F Plus.
