Default Tech Pan- DX Coded?

Pretty self-explanatory, really- I was thinking of taking some slow B&W film
on holiday with me to put in my Mju II which, of course, doesn't have manual
ISO setting. Is Technical Pan DX-coded, and if so is it coded for ISO25?

Since it has no "speed" as such, I don't believe it was ever DX coded.
You can buy stickers for those cameras that lack the ability to manually set
a speed.

It is not coded and the speed you set should be related to the developer you
use. I found 64 good for development in Rodinal. There was no speed I liked
in Technidol.

Why would anyone buy a camera that needs DX coding to function? I'd
drill some holes in it and use it for a sal****er fishing lure. God,
manufacturers should have their ass paddled for that.


Why would people use film in the first place? Carving things into rock
worked just fine! No need to develop the rock, either.

And none of those archival processing failure horror stories either.

not just that - rock is much better when you need to hit trolls with
it than film ;-)
