Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / May 2005Russian film
I recently got a Ukrainian made FED-2 on eBay and there was an exposed roll of film still in the camera. It's a reloadable black plastic cassett with "130" written on it in pencil and I'm assuming its B&W. Anyone got developing times for the Russian ASA 130 films? THOM I would try d-76 for 10 minutes. It won't give you an optimal negative but anything on it should be printable. : I recently got a Ukrainian made FED-2 on eBay and there was an exposed : roll of film still in the camera.

Keep in mind that the Soviets used the GOST (looks kind of like "LOCT") system, not ASA. But whatever time you'd use for any ASA 125-200 film should work. I found the same thing, a roll of film in (I think it was) a Zorki-2C, which developed fine with D-76. It was probably exposed sometime in the '70s-'80s.

It was recalibrated to be identical to ISO/ASA around 1990, IIRC. If the film is older than that, of course, it probably needs some development time adjustment because of its age alone. > I found the same thing, a roll of film in (I think it was) a Zorki-2C, > which developed fine with D-76.

You could also try snipping off the first few inches of film, develop it, and then adjust your development time for the rest of the roll based on what you get. You'll probably completely ruin one frame from the cut, but if your first guess for development time is significantly off, you'll significantly improve most of the frames, which might be preferable to getting them all wrong. However you proceed, best of luck recovering these mystery images!

OK that opens a can of worms! :-) Does that mean the light meters on things like Kiev-4's, the various Kiev SLR's the Zenit SLR's and FED-4-5's aren't ASA meters? Find anything interesting on the film? THOM >>Keep in mind that the Soviets used the GOST (looks kind of like "LOCT") >>system, not ASA.

The scales aren't different enough to really notice. As far as the meters are concerned 90 GOST = ISO 100/21. This is just under 1/6 stop, lightmeters fairly often disagree by that much even if both have an ISO scale. Let us know how the negatives turn out. I would guess 8 minutes in D-76 or 11 minutes in D-76 1:1. Svema 100 does ok at those times. Peter.
