Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / August 2005Help identifying type of roll film.
Hi. I purchased a camera at a flea market with film in it and exposed. I pulled it out of an Agfa Isolette (c 1950-1960). The only identifier (at all) on the film is a sticker that reads: CAUTION: The film can only be processed on our special equipment for triple print process. I am wondering if anyone knows what this process or can make an educated guess. Thanks I'm almost certain that it's not C41. Probably a private-label using the old Agfa or old Ansco process, and no longer available. Toss it. > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks The only thing I can think of is to look at the rims of the spool to see if anything is written there. There were not very many genuinely special processes around. This _might_ be something like Kryptar film, a knock off using expired Kodachrome patents, or it could be plain vanilla B&W film being promoted by some photofinisher of the time.  Signature--- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@ix.netcom.com Almost certainly, it is merely relabelled Agfa or Ansco, or possibly C-22-process film, made in the late 70's or early 80's. http://www.acecam.com/photography/2178.html http://www.binbooks.com/books/photo/i/l/5D016AF370 > > Hi. > > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > Los Angeles, CA, USA > dickburk@ix.netcom.com > Almost certainly, it is merely relabelled Agfa or Ansco, > or possibly [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://www.binbooks.com/books/photo/i/l/5D016AF370 You're probably right. Agfa made custom film for many house brands. But it might also be Farrania or one of the other obscure makes. It probably makes little difference in processing it. Film Rescue or Rocky Mountain Labs, both mentioned by others in this thread, might be able to identify it and process it. Of course, there is a chance the images are no longer recoverable. Boy, back to the days of Jumbo sized prints with deckeled edges.

'The troll' knows more about it than anyone else, dumbass. > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks I remember the "Triple Print" film: the prints you got back were (from the 126 size) a 4"x4" and (2) 2"x2" prints on one sheet. When my (older) brother was in the army in VietNam, he used this film. Mother put the 4x4 prints in an album, and sent the 2x2 prints back to him. Unfortunately, since I was about 12 years old at the time, I don't know exactly what type of film/process it was. You could contact Film Rescue International in Canada-- they process old process film. -- Ken Hart kwhart@aec.nu > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks It's C-22 film discontinued in the 70's. You can get it processed at Rocky Mountain Film Labs. <http://rockymountainfilm.com/c22.htm> Yep when I worked in the Photo Studio at my college we sent out our color negative film, used the 2x2's for filing and the 4x4's for proofs for the department that had made the photo request. Shot it all with a couple of Hasselblads then sent the stuff out to the corner drug store. Process C-22.
