Mamiya 7 with Adox CMS20 compared with IQ180, 4x5, Nikon D3X, 4x5 and 10x8
Interestingly the Mamiya 7 outresolves the 4x5 with Delta 100 and far surpasses the IQ180 in terms of raw resolution.
I'm getting a hires drum scan of this soon to see how much can be got out of a scan.

The film can display quite a smooth tonal range with Adotech II developer..

Overall this film is incredible. Almost zero grain even at 60x enlargement through a microscope. The most amazing aspect is the anti-halation performance - this gives results which are very clinical with an edge precision more like digital than film.
I'll also be making a pictorial comparison soon.
