Gevaert type 561

[Peter de Groot]

I acquired some gevaert type 561 film recently. I find it hard to get some info on this film. I know it is cinefilm. So I hope it will have no problems in a photocamera. But what is the ISO? I read somewhere around iso 10. It is intended as positive film but if I wanted to use it as a negative film wich developer could I use and how long to develop for? If someone can give me a starting point I can go from there figuring this film out.

I could find info here and almost no info with google.

I had the same idea when this was offered on Marktplaats: developing it as negative film should be no problem. With Google I ended up on a forum for 16/35mm movie enthousiasts and it appeared that this film was meant for making copies of movies and that iso is very low. On the other hand, there is almost no grain. I decided not to buy it.
Because it is very old material, I would say try iso 6, 9, 12 and develop in Rodinal stand (60 minutes 1:100) and see what happens.
Let us know how it works out, so I know what I missed

Wel I'll have a go at it. I will use hc110 because that is what I have haha. In the end 4 tins where not full and one was. I got a decent deal. If you want to buy a roll of around 30 meters just let me know when I have posted some results. Tomorrow I'll have a first spin. And I came to that forum as wel. That is where I got the iso 10 from

So I shot a test strip of this film at iso 50. I decided to develop the film with HC110 at 9,5 minutes? Why Because I needed to develop a roll of Polypan F for my 365 days project. And I figured it is a starting point. So the film is now hanging to dry. I see fairly decent negatives but with a basefog. Although the base of the film is absolutely clear when dumped in fixer. 2 photo's shot with my telephone. The first photo is grainy because of the low light in the drying area. I will scan it and show results:
The negative:

The film developed and a part straight in the fixer and what it looks like to start with:

Replied! I have scanned the negatives but the camera I used is quite sh*t. So not going to post those photo's here.
