ATP [new TechPan]

[pentaxuser]

Robert Any chance of a translation into English of the extensive text in German. What you have given is information about analogue photography which is what the site is all about. Don't worry, if you ever try blatant advertising and I have seen no signs of this then I am sure the general membership here will let you know. I don't think that will be any time soon. Remember that you can never please all of the people all of the time. Until then keep on feeding us information. Thanks

You can run google translator for the general guidlines. I am sure some German members would be able to do some perfect translation work in this field and I know the weakest point of some famous German chemists is their language.

Same problem with Wolfgang Moersch, a genious German chemist and a very good practical guy in his field but a lack of knowledge in foreign languages, unfortunately.

He did an extensive test for the new introduction general Rollei SUPER PAN 200 film for the next comming Photokina in Cologne/Köln.
Together with his famous FINOL, a kind of modified PMK, he made this test, this time translated by Rollei/Maco and our Fotohuis in English language:

This guy likes his job, is super enhousiastic and is able to do some "miracles" with some film-developer combinations.
I think he will end such a film-developer test without sleeping some nights. A real dark-room nerd.

This guy certainly needs more attention in the international APUG community and certainly not only in Germany (or Holland).

pentaxuser; Google "Translate" does a pretty good job.

Robert; Thanks for the TON of information, also thank you for the free ATP V1.1 trial offer, eventhough it's only for those on THAT side of the pond.

Hello everybody,
I am new here as you can see and have followed this forum for some time now. It was Iwagoshi who made me aware of this place, thanx for that.

A couple of weeks ago I was able to lay my hands on some Technical Pan film. The films are extremely over date, like expiration year 1992/1993 and even 2 films 1985. Never heard of that film before then and decided to give it a go.
I treated it as 100 asa film, developed it for 6 minutes in the HC-110 since I didn't know what to expect from it. Negs were thin and gave a hard result.
Despite that I have fallen in love with it. I'll post 3 examples:

So i went on looking for more info on the film. Unfortunately I found out it's no longer being made. Fortunately I also found out the ATP-V1 is supposed to be an as -close- as- it- gets replacement of that film.
I'm looking in to what developer I might use best in the future since I still have some rolls of that Techfilm and want to try out the ATP-V1 very soon, would I do best with the RCL cause it can handle both films well?

I will experiment with one more film in the HC-110, now treated as 25 ASA film, again developed at 6 minutes to see what the difference will be.
I really liked that contrasty result it provided me with and I assume the low contrast developer will give much softer results, with much more detail, right?

Sorry for the maybe kinda vague post as I feel rather unknowledged compared to the rest of you people here

IMHO Microflim was designed to be a black-and-white film literally, so high contrast and high definition
I guess the difference lies there, in the lack of in-between tones

I'd like to know
1. why?
2. what are the differences picture wise
3. what are the differences emulsion wise
4. what are the differences handling wise.

Thanks.

Contrastique,

With all that `softening´ of quite contrasty emulsions it is intriguing to see that someone went the other way.

Well, you're right about that. It's the massive contrast in the film that struck me and made fall in love with it.
OTOH I have not seen the effect with my own negs with a lc developer so I do plan on experimenting with that just to find out for myself. I will continue to try and refine the development with the HC-110 though.

...ummm.. know how...?

This film reacts almost the same as kodaks TechPan, both in the dr5 reversal process & our negative developments; our negative procedure and Technadol.
besides our own procedures and recipes i dont think i do anything different than anyone here could do.

I'd be happy to discuss our neg procedures and recipes, you'll have to email me though.

This film is not like any other film we have tried, it is unique.

I know dr5 obtains different speeds than box, and ATP should be great for reversal since the base is almost clear.

However.... Unique like intersting, or unique 911?

Have you tried developing in D-76?
