Can you identify this 120 film??

[jerry_friedman]

I recently found some frozen film in my freezer that I can not identify. If you

can help, please do. It is 120 size, 400 speed, has a black paper backing and

came in a gray film envelope. No country of origin identification but on the

exposed flap is the German expression "hier falten" for fold here. I shot some

and developed in HC 110. It has a GREEN cast to film and was not very sharp at

all. No curling when dry. Looks like an old fashioned film and it something i

would never use for important shots. -- I hate to think that I paid for the

stuff but unless it spontaneously regenerated (or degenerated) I must have paid

for it.

The was a <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00HzL8&tag=">thread </a> the other day about Arista.EDU films with a green base. I guess it could be a possibility...

By the description on the roll it sounds like formapan. Last stuff I deveoped had a green/blue that dissappeared when it was drying.

Hmmm, the gray film package with black paper backing sounds like Agfapan. But it never had any problems as long as I can remember. Something must have happened to it.

I agree, it does sound like Agfa, but I've never had a green cast with their film. Perhaps it's the age of it?

I have had Agfa 120 go green but if you re wash it it goes away. I also used to presoak my Agfa and the water came out with a green tinge sometimes....

Agfa 25 had all the characteristics you mention, particularly if you didn't wash it enough. I used to have to pre-rinse the stuff in several rinses to get it clear. I also used HC-110 which may have something to do with it.

Almost certainly Agfa.

 

Orwopan (also German) is unlikely because that was always in a reddish backing.
