Hello all
Anyone know any development tips for this film stock which is probably 30+ years old.
Any shooting data?? I've shot at iso6 and developed in a D96 1:0 for 200 minutes to get nothing in the neg.
Thanks

Re: Recordak 5662
Does "nothing" mean totally dark, or totally clear negatives?
If they're totally dark, then something has happened to expose the film while it was sitting around. A more polite way to say this could be that the base fog has increased to the point that it's gone. I once bought some expired IR film and it probably was kept in a hot shed or something, so it came out all black -- because the IR of the heat effectively exposed the film.
If they're totally clear, then essentially no light got to it. All the silver is gone. Whatever you need to do, getting more light to it is the only possible thing to try.
I just did a bit of searching and this is microfilm film, but I couldn't find 5662 anywhere other than this very article. There are photo related things going on at 5662 Hollywood Blvd, though.
I found 5460 film (35mm) and 7456 which is 16mm film. It's going to be very, very fine grain and very high contrast, as that's what microfilm archival needs. I'm sorry I can't help more. How much of this do you have?
