I posted this over at PHOTRIO yesterday and haven’t gotten any bites (yet) so I figured I’d see if I had better luck here. Thanks in advance!
l just took a chance on a spool of this outdated film. It’s B&W movie stock rated at GOST 90 (ISO 100). It was cheap.
I could take a few guesses and narrow developing time down but if anyone already has experience with this film, a starting point would save me some time and some film. I keep D-76, HC-110 and Rodinal in the house, but I won’t refuse times for other developers.
The MDC doesn’t list KN-3 at all and I can’t seem to turn much up on the net.
Also note that Tasma made another film, NK-3, which was ISO 250, but this is the slower KN-3.
Thanks!
EDIT: I realize in hindsight I should have posted this in film/developing/chemistry. My apologies.

I rated this KN-3 at EI32, and stand developed in Rodinal 1:100 for 60 minutes 20C. I think that EI 50 or 80 and Rodinal 1:50 for 12-13 minutes will be my next try.
