matt_wilkinson Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi, I bought a popular brownie 620 camera (with original film still inside) from ebay a few weeks ago. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=7562539546&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 I was wondering if anybody knew whether the film would be in colour or black & white as we cannot get it developed until we know this. Any help would really be very much appreciated! The film is a Kodak verichrome pan 620, as shown in the picture on the ebay link. Many thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.ed_baker Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Verichrome Pan is black & white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakon_soreide Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Any film with "pan" in it tends to be Black & White - at least nowadays - from the term panchromatic, distinguishing them from orthochromatic films which are only sensitive to parts of the spectrum. <p> Of course, history might have seen exceptions to this, and the "verichrome" term = "true colour" makes it sound like a colour emulsion. Perhaps someone has the lowdown on that particular film type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio.giacomo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Verichrome Pan was a 125ASA black and white film. Develop it in D76 (or ID 11) for 7 minutes in the neat developer at 20�C/68�F or 9 minutes with the developer diluted 1:1. My father showed me how to do that when I was 6.
