Clear base film (and spectral sensitivity)

[pkr1979]

Hi all,

Both Adox Scala 50 and Fomapan 100R works really well with Iron Out as the second developer (no need for re-exposure with Iron Out), when doing black and white reversal.

However, Im struggling with the spectral sensitivity of both films as blue is rendered to dark (Fomapan is a little better than Scala 50). For instance, my kids got blue eyes (one of them bright), but they turn out way to dark on both films and it looks weird.

So Im looking for other clear based films which can actually see blue... any suggestions anyone?

Cheers
Peter

You could use a light/pale blue filter to suppress a little of the red and green response.
All panchromatic films are sensitive to blue, so it's just a matter of bringing that out a little more.
Try something like an 82A.
