Unidentified film

[paul_poropat]

<p>Hello folks, I just received a nice 120 6x6 folder manufactured from 1950 to 1954. The point is that I carefully (and in complete darkness) removed the film from inside. There may have been one or two exposures made. I can find no film name or type printed on the start end of the roll. In darkness I rolled through to the ending of the roll and on the closure tape was printed in a scrolling type "Panchromatic" and with the regular block type is "exposed". Again, no manufacturer, no film type. The backing paper feels quite heavy, a kind of sandy yellow background color. The spool is metal with the "120" in two places on the spool flange, on both flanges. Can anybody identify this film? I would like to use the remaining film and process it to see what may be "found exposures". Thanks</p>

<p>Well HC-110 1-200 full or semi stand one hour to decrease fog or Rodinal 1-100 for one hour if you can print through or scan through fog. Diafine if you want a lot of fog 3+5.</p>

<p>Probably house branded film, most likely Gevaert or Agfa. Use the times for Verichrome Pan, you should be fine. HC-110 would be a good choice, you get less base fog with these old films.</p>

<p>Thanks. I have some HC-110 on hand. I am surprised though that the rated EI of 125, I expected older film to be maybe 100 or 80. Well it may be a while, as I have much cleaning to do.</p>

This sounds very similar to some boots

brand 127 film I was given pre exposed

from the mid 70s. This was also 125

iso and with sandy yellow backing

paper.

 

I tried 9 min I. Hc-110 dilution b and

probably should have given it 12-15

minutes. The negatives were scanable

but low contrast with a lot of fog. You

can see the results here http://

a 35 year old film that had sat in a

dusty draw its entire life.

<p>Awhile back I developed a <a href="/black-and-white-photo-film-processing-forum/00X1EE">roll of Gevaert film</a>, the backing paper on the start of the film has PANCHROMATIC FILM printed from side to side then 120 going length wise on the film close to the edge. About 8 inches in are the start arrows and just after that is 27 A. On the tape at the end is Panchromatic is scrolling print and Exposed in block. Mine also had Made in Belgium in small print. The exposed end of the paper also has PANCHROMATIC and underneath has EXPOSED printed lengthwise on the paper. </p>
