Shannon,
I will be happy to try to answer any questions you have about the
film tests. From what you write I understand that may have had film
tested by the View Camera Store. If so, I am familiar with the method
of testing since it is the one described by Phil Davis in Beyond the
Zone System and it is a good system for calibrating film speed and
contrast to your printing process.
