ruth_synowiec Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hello,I recently received a box of 4x5 Super-xx pan film that expired in 1992 and was (to my knowledge) kept in a freezer at my college. I have been having a hard time finding any relevant information on this film, and I was wondering if anyone knows a lot about it? Also, what developer is best for this kind of film? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_rust Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Ruth, Also check www.apug.org because someone has posted images using this film. The latest one was developed in straight D76 and is superb. I am also using this film for limited subjects and have obtained good results rating it at ASA 100 with Acutol 1+12 for 16 minutes @68F; Pyrocat HD 1+1+100 for 14 minutes @68F. I plan to try Xtol also. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 The Kodak F-5 databook of 1976 gives an asa of 200; HC-110 dilution B of 7 minutes @68F continuous agitation in a tray; or 9 minutes with intermittent agitation in a tray. (agitation at 1 minute intervals during development)<BR><BR>Super-XX has a short toe and medium grain; and is/was used to make B&W negatives from transparencies; and color separation negatives; and general usage too.<BR><BR>In an older film like this; I would try a 1/3 to 1/2 stop more exposure as as starting poin; ie rate at 160 or 125 asa as a starting point.
