Selling some sealed 150ft cans of Technical Pan in 70mm (type 2 perforations). These expired in 1985. The last can I shot of similar vintage was fine. This film generally holds up extremely well in spite of the passing of decades.
If you are unfamiliar with Technical Pan, it's a slow (typically shot at ISO 25), low-grain, high resolution black and white film. It can be finicky to develop. Use of the usual suspects (developer-wise) will result in extreme contrast - don't even try. Kodak sold a special developer for it, Technidol, which is no longer produced. I've gotten good results developing with dilute Rodinol. C-41 developer (at 20C) also works well. Times for these options can be found online. The Photographer's Formulary sells a developer specifically formulated for Technical Pan, TD-3. It works really well, but I've had batches go bad if not used in a few weeks of mixing, so I only break it out for special occasions these days.
Asking $175/can including shipping within the continental US. Will ship overseas at cost.
