rick_helmke Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Having completely enjoyed your found film and old camera work, I ran across some found film of my own the other day and got curious. In my modest collection of 126 Instamatics I found a roll of Verichrome Pan. I don't have reference material for it and wonder what might be the best way to soup this one. I've got D-76, HC-110 and Microdol on hand. Thanks for the help and for all your good work. Rick H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich815 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Gene, is that your "default" go-to soup and time in general where you get at least usable images on the negs? I have some old films, some of which I do not even know what they are, that I'm thinking to soup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene m Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Rich. I use standard times for films of similar ASA speeds if I can't find specific info on the film I'm using. Old films are typically ASA 125 or less. If I don't know what a films speed is I assume it's ASA 100. You'll get usable images. The challenge is getting the film onto a reel !

tri-x1 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Gene: Do you ever presoak badly curled film? Years ago I did that with the 1942 circa Panotomic-X 35mm and it worked fine. I can imagine how hard it would be to wrestle around with heat-cured 620 film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
