Help Me Identifying This Film

[buckpago]

THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE SHOTGUN SHELLS, this is a Chinese film probably, it was given to me by a person came from China. this a 100 ISO, as she said. so I exposed this in 100 ISO, now, I dont know how to dev this, should I go for a stock solution of D76 on 10mins?

Looks like Shanghai gp3 film to me. Take a look on the massive dev site for developing details. It goes for about $1 a roll in Shanghai, so quite cheap. I used some of the film, and didn't really like it. If you unroll it you'll also find all kinds of crap on the film, I don't think the manufacturing is very top notch. Lucky film is better.

I have to correct myself. I just went downstairs and looked... that film is lucky (the wrappers they use are red, whereas GP3 is not). http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php?Film=SHD&Developer=D-76&mdc=Search has a chart for lucky 100 in D76.

Let us see what it looks like after you develop the images! (err, if appropriate, that is.)

I have some here which I haven't scanned yet in 120 format. The 120 film can also be full of all kinds of imperfections, but not as bad as the GP2. The 135 lucky film blooms like crazy. But it has a nice soft retro look which I kinda like.

Highlight bloom. Take a look at the face... This was taken in bright sunlight.

You're right about the 'blooming'. Something about the lack of an anti-halation layer. But Lucky with a glowy lens is an absolute nightmare. There's something wrong with having too much glow. I've since discovered ERA100 which is a lot better in this department. But I still use Lucky for 120 format. The glowing look somehow looks more pleasing in 120 to me.
