Bogdan hi,
My experience with Diafine was very high base plus fog. If you want split
development, divided D-23 worked well, if you want to control grain clumping
Di-Exactol might be good choice because of the tanning of the gelatin, also
it controls contrast well, my experience with Royal Pan 120 was that it
produced fairly high contrast negatives. Over all I liked the film, in
today?s world Fuji Neopan 1600 might be very close.

Don't you just love the internet, you can get any data you want, bad and
good. Take your pick. Royal Pan was the fastest film of its day with an
ASA of 1250. I would suggest D-76 as a developer as the grain is quit
large. My developing data is quite old so some else may be able to give you
a time.

Hello all,
I was doing an inventory of my darkroom freezer and found an unopened box of
100 4x5 sheets of 4141 Royal Pan film. Also a box of 3¼x4¼ Royal Pan; have
holders and Graphic cameras for this size.
Why waste good film , I say...
Any ideas as to development times and possible ASA? A Google search gives
400 asa and 1250 asa for this film.
I was thinking that maybe I should develop in Diafine.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Cheers,
Bogdan
