Ben,
What type of ortho are you using? This sounds
interesting to me.

Dear All
I have been using ortho in coke can pinhole cameras.
But the negatives appear to be positive upon
development.
Could anyone tell me why this should be?

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

1. do you have to use the chemicals on special paper or can you use it on any
paper like with liquid emulsion.
2. can you print from a paper negative onto cyanotype paper.
Hello Ben
Thank you
I am a bit limited in my funds and equipment, but I think I will give ilford
ortho film a go

does that mean litho film and be developed in trays under a red light?
this is good news because I had been looking at the ilford ortho film and
its a lot more expensive than litho

I would love to try cyanotypes, but I live in the UK so it might be expensive

I think I know where to get some from in london.

Hello Everybody
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I would like to know more about
ortho film.
I have heard it can be developed in a tray under a safe light. Also I have
heard there are alternative processes called canotypes that can be developed
in sunlight.
I would appreciate some
Hi:
I'm using another ortho film - kodak camera 2000 CGP film. I use a
developer developed :) by an alternative process photographer Dave
Soemarko. He calles it LC-1 developer. I am beginning to work with CGP
film and LC-1. It appears very promising.
See
If you haven't used ortho film before, do a safelight test on a small piece
of film before you handle a large piece of film under the safelight. There
is no guarantee that a safelight that is OK for one material is safe for a
different film or paper.
I find that when using any ortho film (Kodak, Konica or Arista) that its
ISO in Hi Con developer is 6 But I get a speed increase when I develop
in paper or film developer. Presently I rate my Kodalith at ISO 25 when
using the Clayton developer. If I don't, I tend to have to pull the film
early
Great information about Ortho and Litho film thanks.
not that this completely relates to the conversation strain BUT: here is some
info on this type of film.
I use something from www.freestylesalesco.com called ortho litho film - they
make a sheet that is already cut to a 3.9x4.9 size for 4x5
Ortho means orthochromatic while litho means lithographic. In general,
ortho and litho are different, with ortho just meaning a film not sensitive
to red while litho is a very high contrast film, usually requiring a
special developer. Kodalith Ortho was both ortho and litho,
I have used this film in the past when found at surplus stores. There is
mention of it in my Compact Photo Lab Index from 1979. It has an ISO of
50 under tungsten light. It is able to record intermediate tones like
handwriting or the lines of an etching. Their recommendations for
developing are
I am not an expert on litho/ortho films but I think the ortho film is either
the same as or has similar properties as litho film. Kodak has an 800 number
for customer questions. If you plan not to return it, why not test it as if
it was litho film.
