35mm B/W internegative advice
RobertL wrote:
Can I ask some advice please? What film (35mm) would people use for making an internegative of a black/white transparency? I am supposing that what works well for making B&W negatives from colour slides, should also work for B&W slides. In which case you need both fine grain and low contrast. Normal development will give you a rather hard negative. Could I use any old fine-grain B/W film such as Pan-F+? Yes. But it is possible that you may find it a bit tricky to get even, low contrast development. Ilford recommends FP4+ film for making internegatives. If you are prepared to make your internegative on sheet film, grain will not be a problem. (Ilford makes Ortho+ sheet film which is basically an orthochromatic version of FP4+ which can be handled under a Wratten#2 safelight.) Eastman 5234 cine internegative film exists, and may seem ideal for the purpose, but is hard to obtain in modest quantities. I would suggest also asking in rec.photo.darkroom. It seems almost dead, but a good question can get Richard Knoppow out of the woodwork, and he is always worth reading. Peter. -- |
