Tech Pan 25

[Ali Riza Kutlu]

I happen to have 10 rolls of this film(120 btw)... I only shot a roll and would like to develop it before I spend all films..However, I am wondering if anyone has ever used this film, if so developer and experiences??? I hadn't use any filter with it . I know this is special film but want to do something different. I use Rodinal for Tri-X all the time... Will Rodinal work with this film?

Thanks, Ali

I don't know if the 120 is the same emulsion as the 35mm. If it is, it can be developed in diafine by carefully limiting the second bath to 45 secs. I know it sounds crazy but it works great:

Thank you for the source guys... very useful info Subhash...

I rated it @25 as I meant to shot slow and dark moments... The pictures I am expecting will be dark and blurry....

cheers, Ali

Rodinal 1+100 ~10 min helps getting pictorial results
controlling contrast is the key in TechPan and the highlights can bloom quite easily.

AFAIK the emulsion is the same for 135 and 120 films. I used to use this in the lab all the time, and developed in Technidol - could get lots of contrast. I have also shot it for fun (in MF) and developed in both D76 and Ilfosol S. In anything other than Technidol, IMO you should rate the film faster, like 100.
