my examples were shot with a Robot square format 35mm camera - and developed in

Another finely-crafted Belgian
classic!

Here's
another great vintage film stock from AGFA - Gevaert. This is a unique
black and white motion picture film stock from the 1970s but it has
regular
perforations for use in 35mm still cameras. Originally the ISO was 250
for daylight or 200 for tungsten lighting, but I've set the
recommendation at 100 and you may even want to over-expose that by a
half a stop or more. It does have a bit of age fog & grain but this
can be minimized in development.
This film was made by
Gevaert in Belgium during the short time between 1964 and 1981 while
they were still co-owners of the Agfa-Gevaert company, before AGFA (as
their parent company Bayer) bought them out.
Here you can see the original AGFA Gevaert tin containing this film.
This
film was used for B&W scenes in many movies including some from the
1971 film "Maddalena" shot on the island of Antiparos in the Aegean
Sea.
All
my examples were shot with a Robot square-format 35mm camera, and as usual, I've developed these in our Labeauratoire's Caffenol
Concoction.
I
suspect you can get a better result by using a diluted developer like
Rodinal 1:50, with about 5 drops of Benzotriazole and developing at 55º
f for about 45 minutes with agitation every 5 minutes.
Of course there are many different methods and you may enjoy experimenting with other developers as well.
You can also see more pictures shot with this, and other unique films
in the: LABEAURATOIRE

Here's your chance to try out this exciting film.
I'm making some rolls available for your experimenting
pleasure.
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 Gevaert or
AGFA and
I
am not proporting to represent those fine companies in any manner.
