The feared halos due to the lack of an anti-halation layer were not much of an issue. Another roll that may have more challenges in this respect is in processing. Unfortunately, the lack of facilities to get C-41 film processed is becoming apparent. Even the local photo store does not have a working lab anymore. Keep the local lab supplied, if you can!
