Hello all,

I have come into a roll of 620 film from an Ansco camera that a friend
found in a box full of photo equipment that he bought from an estate.
It's a small town, so he knows the family related to the estate, and we
thought we would try to retrieve the negatives for the family. They
don't know that the camera was loaded and the film exposed, so if we
fail only "we" will be disappointed, not the family. We realise that
there is a very poor chance of this given the date on the film,
but.....nothing ventured eh?

Here's the details that I know of so far:

1)  Film has no brand name
2)  has printed on it "620" " 1173/CAN/14
3)  recommends development at "Triple Print Film Labs, Toronto Ont.
4) Camera was an Ansco, very basic model with two aperture settings (sun
& shade), two shutter settings (auto & manual) and one filter (yellow)
built in.

I assume from the above that the film was either made in 1973 or would
be stale dated in 1973. I would also guess that it would be fairly slow
speed, 100 or less, probably less?

I have available a basic B&W darkroom (bathroom) with fixer, stop and
either Rodinal or "mix my own" Adams DD23.  Because I don't know the
speed, and because I've heard that the Adams divided formula is quite
tolerant of development time/temp, exposure, speed etc, that was going
to be my choice, but I'm open to suggestions that don't include buying
anything new in the way of chemicals

thank you in advance for any suggestions/advice.

cheers
