Looking for Notch Codes.

[waynecrider]

I've a single small v notch on some film that I unloaded out of some old Graflex holders I bought and am wondering what film it is. In the meantime I ran across Kodaks Notch Code page and list it here for others.

Some more notch codes here (http://web.archive.org/web/20030208093848/http://www.srv.net/~vail/notch.htm). I came across this some time ago and then it disappeared but I found it again on web.archive.net...

Don't know if the one you want is there though, but it's a useful reference in general.

Cheers, Bob.

Wayne,

I am currently shooting Fortepan 200 in 4x5 sheets, and that film has a single small "V" notch. Could this be the one you are looking for?


Best,
Sanjay

I've put together a list of film data for every in-production emulsion I could find info for. It includes film codes, data sheet links, available formats, and notch codes:

BTW, if anyone has info that's missing from this, please let me know! I'll update the chart and link you in the Contributors section.

Most of the East European films just have a single notch. It tells you which side is the emulsion, but it doesn't tell you what the film is.

Thanks David, it's good to know that! But it brings up the question - is there any other way to tell two East European films apart from one another without the benefit of having the boxes they came in?

Other than shooting the film and testing it, not really.

I didn't think that it was going to be Fortepan since these are really old holders and the film that I did pull that was supposedly unexposed looked pretty old. There were some exposed sheets tho and or course I'm wondering if anything is on them so maybe Diafine will be the choice; Hopefully their b&w.

Thank you all. This is really helpful data.

bergger 200 is coded with a v-notch.

Take a chance and develop one in D76 at say 8 minutes. Maybe the film borders will have the name of the film.

Tri-x notch code

For old non-Pro Kodak Tri-X sheet film, it was three V notches side by side... (not shown on the previously mentioned Kodak site...) (I processed a box or two of Tri-X back in the day...)
