Hello all, I've just finished developing a roll Kodak High Resolution Aerial Copy film. I had cut and rolled a strip of it and put it in my old Rolleiflex. I took a series of shots of the landscape in front of my house to get an idea of the film speed. The resulting negatives are certainly interesting. The cloudy sky is very dense compared to the ground, which I expected. But something strange has happened I cannot explain. I have much more detail of the houses etc. at 8 and 4 sec and also at 1/2 sec. At 2 sec and especially at 1 sec the ground detail is almost gone. This film has no antihalation backing. To look at it it is yellow and almost transparent. Could this be halation? I have no idea what halation looks like on the film. If anyone is curious, the images that look like they are exposed about right have amazing detail. I didn't know the little Tessar in my Rolleiflex was that good. I will let you all know what happens when I try to print these. That should happen in a couple days. I have 500ft. of this stuff, and my plan was to cut a bunch of 4x5 sheets from it. Looks like it works well at about ASA 2-6. I developed it in Rodinal for 10 min at 20 deg C.
