Kodak Vericolor HC

[larrydressler]

Hi Fine people.

I just got a huge Catch of Kodak Vericolor HC that has been frozen

from the day my friend got it and It is still frozen in my freezer.

It is 120 and I want to use it being it is ISO/ASA 100 I figure it is

mostlikely in good shape. I would like to know about this film but

the Kodak sight does not have any info on it even in the archives

that I can find. I have the box incert that came with it and the only

thing I know is it is not good for shutter speeds below 1 second. I

figure the HC stands for High Contrast. But other than that what?

 

Thanks I was out of the Photo Life for most of the 90's and did not

re-enter untill the first part of this century so be nice on my lack

of knowlege of what I call "Gap Films" LOL

It is high contrast and speed 100. It is similar to royal gold 100.

I could be wrong, but I think Varicolor was sold before Kodak came up with Gold and Royal Gold. I think it's a high contrast and a high satutarion film.

 

If it's been in the freezer for that long put the film you want in the fridge for a few days and then leave it out of the fridge for at least an hour before using it.

You are right Phil, It was an option before royal gold but it is similar to the Royal Gold emulsion.
