I recently bought the guts to a home darkroom from a local photographer gone binary. As I was walking out the door with her enlarger and the usual process stuff, she handed me a bag full of bulk loaded film.
"Here, take these too. Its mostly litho film. I don't know how old it is, but you might have some fun with it..."
Now, at first I didn't give a rat's patuti about the film. But about 30 snap top reload cassettes got my appreciative attention. As I looked at them sitting on my desk, I began to think, "Yeah, it might be fun to play with the stuff."
Now the problem: I haven't got a clue as to how to shoot it. I know zero about either film type. I think that litho is high contrast film. She said that she used to shoot a lot of Kodak stuff, but a search of their site told me nothing.
Does anyone know how these two films handle and what might their film speeds be? Are they Kodak and what would be best to process them with?
I'm abouot to play with google, but I figured that I first ask the friendly gurus here....
