I literally just bought a box of the film he's using here, it's a high contrast red-insensitive film, $15 for 50 sheets, https://www.freestylephoto.biz/531345-A

developing it for normal contrast images is more difficult but not impossible
- staticautomatic 7y agoI've shot a ton of Kodak Ortho film in 4x5 at EI 3, 6, and 12. It's actually super easy to develop. I recommend stand development in 1:100 HC-110 with occasional agitation. The developer basically exhausts after 10 or 12 minutes depending on the temperature, which happens to be pretty much exactly the right development time, so it's pretty much impossible to over-develop.
- tecleandor 7y agoSeems similar to xray ortho film, green or blue sensitive, and is pretty cheap.
- mmcwilliams 7y agoGreatly reduced Rodinal, on the order of 1:100, will bring some "normal" tones out of hi-con film. At $0.30 a sheet it's not a bad experiment. I was gifted a roll of expired Kodak Imagelink microfilm stock and once it's cut down to sheets that's my development plan for it. Similar tonal range and ISO.
