Ortho films are sensitive mostly to blue light. This accounts for being
able to use a red safelight with them. Until recently Kodak still made an
ortho version of Tri-X. Currently most ortho films are lith type films.
However, there are a couple of smaller manufacturers who are coating film
What a complicated answer.
Simply put, most film is designed to react to light in a linear fashion
from about 1/2 second to 1/1000 second. If times slower or faster than this

Acros film is most easily available in 120. Some of the mailorder houses

piece of aluminum the proper thickness to just slide into the holder
Thanks for spending the time and effort necessary to provide a very nice
site. I really enjoy your images and, as an instructor in photography at a
community college, find them esthetically beautiful.
As for suggestions re: the site, It would be nice to be able to go from one

Using paper developer with Ortho Litho film.
Since paper developers are more active and contrasty by their makeup, it
makes more sense to use dilute film developer in order to obtain long scale
