Thomas – I’m afraid i’ve no experience using this film. I’m intrigued to see the results though….

A l’attention de Seb : ASA c’était le standard ricain (American Standard Association) et DIN le standard allemand (Deutsche Industrie Normen) qui donnait l’équivalence ASA 100 = DIN 21. Tout ça a été remplacé par la norme internationale ISO (International Standard Organisation) ce qui donne ISO 100/21° !
Si ton appareil dispose d’une couronne de correction d’exposition (concentrique à la couronne de réglage de la sensibilité), graduée par demi valeurs ou tiers de valeurs, généralement de -2 à +2, tu peux afficher ISO 100 et régler la correction sur -1. Si ton appareil n’a pas de réglage de correction d’exposition, pas de problème, tu fais comme recommandé ci)-dessus, tu indiques ISO 200 (ou ASA 200 si ton appareil est un peu ancien).

I’m about to shoot Orwochrome film (bought in East Berlin in 1986) for cross processing (specific chemicals are no longer available, I guess). Any previous experience ? any tips ?

If you are using ISO100 film set your cameras ASA dial to 200.

sorry i don’t get this point. I am french and also not very good with all the terms in photography, ISO 100 is the film grade… but what about ASA? dial to 200.

do you mean if i use a ISO 100. to set up my camera at 200, like if i was using a ISO 200?

Kamal – Thanks for pointing that out. I’d managed to confuse myself! I’ve corrected tip 2 now.

The second tip is contradicting. I think you should underexpose the film instead of overexpose it, since cross processing tend to overexpose the film.
