good luckHi All.
I am looking for Kodak Technical Pan in 120 format or 4x5. I have done the obvious search on eBay, and turned up a good amount, but thought I would ask here if any one here had any that they wanted to sell.
Wanted for a personal project, not sure how much I need, but will see what turns up I guess.
Kind regards,
Jason Berge.
good luck
"...hey diggers, anybody got some gold to give away ??.... ". just kidding...
Hi Jason:
Just a heads up.
You might get a polite note from a moderator that mentions the rule that posts of this type ("Want to Buy") are supposed to only be placed in that part of the Classifieds that are reserved for paid subscribers.
Given that you are new here, I doubt that anyone will be likely to complain.
Good luck in your search.
You might consider an alternative.
That would be its technically advanced successor Rollei ATP with its propriatory developer.
A second alternative would be the Adox CMS 20, also with dedicated developer.
This film is available in 4x5" too.
Hi AgX,The ATP goes up far into the red, further and and with higher sensitivity than the TP (Kodak Technical Pan).
The current ATP data sheet says the sensitivity is 370 to 820;

Maco have a long history of publishing data sheets with mixed-up information
I shot a lot of Tech Pan when I was working for Sprint Systems of Photography. If I recall correctly, my experiments with that film were co-incident with Sprint's desire to have a footprint within the spectrum of digital photography that was a so new (at that time) and seemed to be coming on so strongly. I think I was working on what we thought would be a "product" that might be called..."Scan-Tastic". The idea, as most may be able to suss out, was to have a product that bridged chemical/digital workflows and would give Sprint a footprint in the "Digital Darkroom" that seemed to be coming sooner than management had realized. "Scan Tastic" was to be the developer of choice, with Tech Pan, to provide the best scannable negative to scan in order to obtain a file to print out an acceptable digital print. Sprint sent me up to Jon Cone in Topsham, Vermont to see what might be done along these lines.
I never did evaluate that film for spectral sensitivity. I came up against reciprocity effects when using apertures that were intended to increase depth of field.
I also found regular developers produced higher contrasts than were desired. I strived for Phenidone rich, lower Ph, developers that were to mimic "Technidol". I had the ear of a friend, at that time, and he told me that the digital capture devices (that were available at that time) were so infinitely superior to the sensitivity that one could achieve with film/chemistry that I was, essentially, pissing up a rope.
It was still fun work and I enjoyed the experiments.
