adam_derstine Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I know this has been asked before, but the caches and old links aren't working. I bought a bulk loader on ebay and it came full of unexposed Kodak Safety Film 5063. It seems to be about 400 speed. Anybody know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Google is your friend- "Kodak 5063" and you'll get Tri-X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_derstine Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Quite right- google is my friend. However a google search for "kodak 5063" doesn't yield a 5063=tri-x explanation. Try it. But thanks for the explainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent1 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 "Safety film" refers to acetate base, which while not as hazardous as nitrate base, can deteriorate in storage; plan accordingly. The emulsion on film with that edge marking is probably from the 1970s to 1980s, and will have lost some speed while gaining fog; you may need to adjust your metering and development to compensate, if you want to try to use the film. I find HC-110 works very well with old film because it has a very strong restrainer that keeps fog down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sorry, my bad. I spend so much time trying to get people to use quotes for phrases, I slipped up and stuck 'em in. Just Googling the two words without the quotes (how I did it originally) gives several references on the first search page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndc Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I googled "Kodak 5063" (didn't even use quotes) and this was the first link: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/faqs/faq0034.shtml In case you're wondering, 6043 is (was) the code for the 120-size Tri-X Pan.
