I wonder why anyone would dream of a Monopan. Is it because it has packaging with a Leica logo instead of ADOX HR50 lettering? All these specialty films that only work reasonably well in certain developers and have peculiar spectral sensitivities are really more for experimenting than for being a standard film that performs in all situations. If it absolutely has to be a 50 ISO film, get an Ilford Pan F Plus. That's a far better choice.
Love the PanF+ 50 film - shoot it a lot! Why the Monopan - yes, I would have kept the boxes for sure for decoration and at least one film roll unused with the Leica logo. The remaining films I would have shot and differently developed using my own B&W methods. Might at some point try simply the Adox film as suggested for this purpose.
