Just bagged a 100' roll for £1.00 at our camera club auction, going to experiment this weekend with ISO6-ISO25 and stand develope in Rodinal 1+100 for 1 hour, How does this sound ? anyone have any experience with this film














going to experiment

Its an interesting film, and stand development in rodinal gave me somewhat continuous tone. If you have a darkroom you can also develop this film by inspection under red safe light.

Because of its speed, its very likely that the film has not degraded and would be quite usable, but it is worth it to bracket a few frames under and over to see how far you stretch it to your liking.

Nice for wide open shots in bright sun or long exposures without ND filters.

I have used it and found that an iso 10 worked. This was with POTA developer (Phenidon/sodium sulphite) - gave good cont. tones. The Rodinal 1:100/60 min or the 1:200 for 120 min. stand development works for a low contrast scene. Just in case I would do a bracket exposure run first, 3/6/10/12/15 iso and run it with whatever developer/dilution/time you intend to use.
It is a thin emulsion, thin base film and loading the film is somewhat akin to trying to load wet toilet paper on the reels!

Thankyou for your help, cant see any times on massive dev chart but at £1 for the roll i cant go wrong, there is some times for other makes so i can also try those, im going to load about 10 shot onto 5 rolls and play tomorrow if i have time
