Plus X Pan 120???

[ChristopherCoy]

I bought an original Holga 120S on fleabay and it came with an unused roll of Plus X Pan 120. Unknown expiration date. I'm thinking of using it for fun, but is Plus X Pan 120 a B&W film or color?

It's black and white. I would shoot it at 50 ISO or maybe slower.

Box speed is 125, FWIW, for film of unknown age, 50 is probably good.
It is (was) a good film, was popular with a lot of people here before it became discontinued a few years ago.

Got it. Holga in full sun. LOL

Plus-X Pan was replaced in 2007 with Professional Plus-X. That was discontinued recently (2013?) .

Here is the data-sheet for Professional Plus-X: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f4018/f4018.pdf

And the data sheet for its predecessor: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f8/f8.pdf

Both were very good films.

You should still be able to buy it eg ebay.

I still have a few pro-packs in 120, and a dozen or so 24 exposure rolls that I loaded from my last bulk roll. I am using it up carefully.

At the same time I'm trying to get T-Max 100 dialed in for low speed work.

I would only look to eBay if I had an ongoing project for which I needed the film.

I did ask the CEO for Kodak Alaris to bring it back though .
