Another old roll of film to identify

[JMC1969]

Quick and simple:

1. the green and white paper band is torn with no name exposed.
2. on a 620 spool
3. red backing paper
4.reads: Exponiert, B2-8 6x9, 12/6x6, 16/4.5x6 (I believe "B2" was the film size? Rather than 620 as I seem to remember this being printed on the inside of an old folder I purchased one time.)
Anfang/Start (I don't know German, but it seems like "Anfang" is "Start" in German? Which leads me to believe that "Exponiert" translates to "Exit" or other form of this word.)


Any help is greatly appreciated.

I plan to run it as though it is B&W (because of it's age) and add about 20% to the time of an iso400 film. (best results in the past) I only have access to Clayton F76+ and Kodak TMax RS.

Thank You ahead of time.

`Exponiert´ was once used in Germany and means `exposed´, by now the true german word `belichtet´ is used.

`B2-8´ was the rollfilm designation used in Germany eqivalent to Kodak's `120´.

So, this must be a film converted for the German speaking market.



However, `type 620´ would have been designated as `PB 20´...

sounds like it is already exposed then?

Agfa used "B-2" as their designation for their equivalent to Kodak 120 film

Not that this will particularly help, but here is a picture of the backing paper.

As well as the Agfa "B-2" coding, there looks like there's the remains of Agfa insignia on the sealing band (i.e. the double-lined chevron, part of the Agfa diamond).

Well, it is still wet, but I developed it. Amazingly enough it came out alright as far as development time for the exposures. Four good exposures should be good enough to get a positive, but I don't expect those to look too great. The entire piece of film has a texture, to the tune of looking almost powder coated. I believe I had a piece of old 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 ansco film that this happen to as well and as it dried, that texture turned into a matte finish look instead. We shall see.

The piece of film only had edge numbers for markings and at the tail end (not taped to backing paper) had a single semi-square notch located in the center.

I developed it in Clayton F76+ (1+5 replenished, which should be roughly the 1+9 in small tank) @ 68˚ for 7.5 minutes. agitated a full minute from start, then 10sec every 30sec and then the final 30 sec.

I sure hope there is something in the photo with a date and/or place written on it. I love that kind of thing.

Thanks for the help and I will try to post a scan sometime soon.
