I realize this is weird...but I found a box of film, that in my brilliant haze is not marked with whatever is inside.

What I have found is about 12 sheets of 4x5 with a notch code that I don't recognize. I've searched the inter-web and have found many other codes, proving that it is not any of my favorite films.

It is a B&W film, that has two 'u' cuts about 3/4 of an inch a part. Now, to be clear, they are u like and not v like.

Any thoughts?

According to the chart I have, two "U" cuts should be Ilford FP4+.

thanks

I was dubious of it being FP4, since this is a regular film for me. I figured it may be APX 100 but had difficulty in finding proof.

Thank you all, I knew somebody here could help.

Now, I just need to figure if I'm ready to expose my last 12 sheets of APX.

This is more difficult than a notch code.
