This was from a bunch of film I picked up a while back. Unfortunately, the part of label which would describe what is in the can (other than Super XX High Speed) is ripped off. Anyone see these before? No idea what I would do with it, curiosity mostly. What format do you think it is 70mm? I know what is in the other bottle--just there for scale.

Looks like 100 feet if 5 inch aerial film. Cut a sheet of 4x5 or 5x7 out of it and shoot it.

That looks like a can for 5.5" Aerial film used in some aerial and still ground cameras. It takes a 5x7 image IIRC.

What speed would this stuff be? It says to open in a darkroom--my guess is complete darkness is what is meant.

Matt;

I can read the label. It says Super XX High Speed.......

This would be a panchromatic film with an ISO rating of about 100 and depending on the expiration date, it could be foggy. I would use ISO 100 and develop for 9 minutes in D-76. That is what I used for my last batch of 20 year old Super XX.
