I have not had a chance to try it.  The concept is fascinating, however.  It
appears different "recipes" of Pyro produce different results.  I got
distracted before I could conclude which one would have the least grain.
Reviews of a few of the processes seemed to indicate the results actually
had more grain.  There also seemed to be a question as to whether the newer
type films ("T" grain for example) were suitable candidates.  When it comes
to grain reduction, I'm not sure I want to go back to an older technology.
So, basically, the project was put on the back burner.  It'll be moved up as
my Tech Pan stash disappears.  Frankly, I'm hoping an affordable, 32 mp,
wide latitude digital camera is out by then, but I'm not holding my breath
on that front.
