using rollei ato2.1 25 ortho film to make transparancies from roll film negatives

[jpberger]

Does this work? Any one done it? Any tips?

I'm interested in making black and white transparencies for projection. Flexibility and convenience are more important than ultimate quality. Multiple copies a plus too. (otherwise I'd go reversal process)

Thanks, JP

Sure does. Can be done with any B/W film...no experience with this one...but slow is easier to work with than fast. Sandwich emulsion-to-emulsion and expose. As you might expect, this is often preferred over direct reversal as the original is untouched and you now have a copy.

I'm thinking with ortho film It would be a lot easier because you could work with a safe light.

Yes, good point. But check on how sensitive it is. I use ortho litho APHS which is about paper speed and safe under my red lights whereas I've seen fogging on my ADOX Ortho 25.
