Re: [Frameworks] Cine Kodak Super XX and panchromatic film

[Scott Dorsey]

Super Double-X was the fastest film of its day.  It had a Weston number of
100 which I think would put it around 250 ASA.

If you have an old roll, I'd probably expose it at 100 ASA and then develop
for the highlights in D-76.Cut a few inches off, put it in a 35mm still
camera, shoot a frame and then process it.  Do not be surprised if the fog
density is very high.

You can try adding benzotriazole to the developer to cut down the fog but
you'll lose at least a stop of speed doing that.

Oh yes, and open up almost a full stop in tungsten light.  This was a pan
film, but it wasn't as pan as pan films are today.

[Frameworks] Cine Kodak Super XX and panchromatic film

[Morgan Hoyle-Combs]

Hello everyone, 
I recently acquired a roll of 16mm Kodak film from the 1940s. Cine Kodak Super 
XX. I'm wondering if anyone on the list might know of a developer for this 
film?  Is it still shootable? Since it's from the 1940s, I would suspect that 
it has a very low ISO and would need all the light it could get. But anyone out 
there who might have a better idea of ancient film help me out? ___
