   great for experimental photography!
This is a wonderfully rare black & white film.
Works with normal B&W development. I have had good results using Rodinal Special and also with Promicrol.
Only ever produced in large reels of 300 meters or more, this is the first time it has ever been offered for still cameras.

This film does not work well with long development times.
I tried it in Rodinal Stand 1+100 for 1 Hour and it was very fogged, but the Rodinal Special at 1:15 for 4 minutes was remarkably better.
I have made these example images at ISO speeds of 12 and lower.
It's usually good to over-expose expired films.
It says it is a "positive" film so perhaps there is also a way to make transparencies from it?
You will enjoy trying it with your own experiments.

SO BUY IT NOW!


Expired in 1978  but many people are enjoying the quirky results from long expired films.

    I'm keeping these rolls inexpensive by re-using old film cassettes and sticking on an artsy label I've made just so you know what's inside. Using a bulk loader I made rolls of approximately 20 exposures each, sometimes a bit more or less and as with most bulk loaded film the very last picture of each roll will not be exposed as that is where it is taped. This is NOT a stock product from Svema and I am not proporting to represent that fine company in any manner. There is no DX code on this film.

My Examples: The square shots were shot with a Fujica Rapid S2 24x24 camera and the others were shot with an AGFA Silette and developed with Rodinal Special 1+15 for 4 min. at 20ºc.
