a question of B/W film
There was once a film made by Kodak, black and white which was not sensitive to red light, and could be as out in the open and undeveloped under red light, Pan - something I think ... anyone remember this? Does anyone know if something close is still made? I know some of Ansel's earliest work was done with it. Thanks all, Alex |

a question of B/W film
It looks hopeless ... I want the stuff Ansel was using back in the 20's and 30's ... I bet it's impossible. Alex "Robert Feinman" wrote in message ...

The only films of this type made are very slow speed used in the graphic arts industry. Mostly only available in large sheet sizes. If you want the look you can shoot through a blue filter, but you will still have to process in the dark. -- Robert D Feinman Landscapes, Cityscapes and Panoramic Photographs http://robertdfeinman.com mail: |
