I bought 10 rolls of this stuff from Ebay a while ago, just before my mate asked for his Bronica back :bonk: So, the only camera I have that I could try this out with is the little Voigtlander Perkeo - a folding, scale focusing, non-metered camera from the early fifties. What better camera to be trying to shoot a test roll with. Did I mention it's got a sticky clockwork shutter 
Anyway - 12 shots later i've discovered a few things.
1) I'm not great at working out sunny-16's
2) 1/80th is not enough for steady shots on a 75mm medium format lens if you've just spent the last 40 minutes riding a mountainbike at full-beans.
3) As Arthur mentioned to me, that Ektacolour is a bit green.
4) Square format framing takes me a while to get back into.
5) I definitely did a bit better when I stuck the camera on a tripod.
Still, I did get a couple of shots - not really up for hard crit, as I freely admit it was more of a test-roll to see how the film itself worked.
