Kodak Vericolor print film 4111 (4x5)

[Thorpelyon]

I recently came upon a stash of this film (expired 2004), but after googling my heart out, I'm more confused than ever. I know it's a tungsten film. I understand what it was originally intended for. But my question is, if I shoot it (probably outdoors with an orange filter), and tell my lab to develop as C41... what am I left with -- a negative or a positive? And therefore, will I set my Epson V800 to scan a negative or positive?

Any help appreciated...

You will get an unmasked negative with a huge color shift - if you are lucky. It will have an EI of 25 or less when exposed properly. Best results would be with heavy red and tungsten light. In daylight use very heavy red.

My experience with this is that it had poor keeping and easily became foggy.

Good luck.

I just developed 4 sheets of the 4111 (shot in daylight no filter @iso3) using the b+w dev@12min expose to a light bulb briefly then back in tank for normal c41 development . Came out as positive with the cyan hue but still pretty cool looking . Good luck.

Very interesting... thanks.

I used this film extensively in the late eighties to the mid nineties, I still have two boxes left that I purchased on the 28/06/1991

I looked up my notes between 1989 and 1990 and found where I shot some in daylight.

Approximately 6 ASA was where I was at. The look we were after was that of a cross processed slide film of E6 transparency film; we were reasonably successful.

Great, Mick... I'm going to give it a shot at 6.

Shoot as tungsten with some extra red filtration and a UV filter. That should help color balance, but reduce the speed.
