I bought a bunch of film, b/w, and in the lot comes a boxed roll "Perutz". Only Perutz I know is the austrian writer Leo Perutz, made famous by Jorge Borges....

The box includes a metallic cylinder with the roll, a notice, an envelop for sending to a lab. It's all written in english, envelop has a choice of three labs in USA, but the film is manufactured by Perutz Photo-Werke in München. Google Germany tells it was an old manufacturer that was bought by Agfa-Gevært in 1964. So i have one of the last rolls or an early Agfa.
It is a 32 ASA.
I guess the guy I bought it from got it from USA, as it makes no sense for a film manufactured in München to be distributed in Norway under an english packaging. This to tell that it has crossed the Atlantic twice, and the devil knows how it was stored in the 56/57 years of its existence.


I shot slide very occasionally, because there's always some Provia or Astia roll in lots of expired film I pick here and there. Very little so have never done E6, used to just have fun with C-41 cross-development, until the other day when I tried BW developer+lamp fogging+C41 with longer times and got usable results.

this page tells a bit about Perutz color slide coded C18, 50 ASA, and developed with a E-3 process:
https://www.photomemorabilia.co.uk/Colour_Darkroom/Early_Perutz.html#anchorSlideFilms

mine doesn't mention any code and is rated 32 ASA.

und, Google Suche auf Deutsch, gibt es nix ! only mention of a further emulsion, C-19, when the brand went under Agfa.
Sollte im deutsche Forum zu suchen glaub ich, aber maybe some souls know about this Peruchrome :smile:

Perutz was a major german manufacturer. Involved in design and manufacture of colour films. Agfa later bought the plant, cancelled the film production but for years used the plant otherwise. Agfa also used the Perutz brand on their films for a more price-sensitive clientele.

It would appear that your film is Peruchrome C18 which was a proprietory process as MattKing has linked. The first developer was 24C so if it was processed in something like E6,(38C) then the emulsion would melt.
You could try cross-processing it in C41 BUT at 20C. I have read that some people use C41 developer for 20 mins @20C.
Here is more info, even though it is about Agfa negative film. http://www.florisdox.com/expired-agfacolor-cns-c41/
You could also try developing it in black & white
I think the later C19 was the same as the Agfachrome AP41 process.
