Subject: [pure-silver] Verichrome Pan processing
I acquired a Kodak No. 3A Autographic a couple of days ago
that had not been
touched since at least 1984, when the father-in-law of the
seller died. The
outside is a bit rough, but the inside including the
bellows, lens ands
shutter are excellent. There was a roll of Kodak
Verichrome Pan in the
camera, showing #4 through the window. I shot the last 2
frames at f/7.7,
1/25, in bright sunlight. I'll probably develop it in
D-76 stock in a tray
using the old see-saw method. I have a little
benzotriozole, and I can
spare a few drops. Any recommendations for developing
time?

You can see-saw but remember this is modern panchromatic
film and needs to be processed in total darkness. I still
have the Kodak data sheets for it and can send one if you
like. Its Kodak F-7.
Developing time for Cirkut camera film with continuous
agitation is 8 minutes @ 68F in D-76 1:1. That should be
right for your film.
Note that while benzotriazole will result in cleaner
looking negatives it does not compensate for the loss of
speed that acompanies fogging. Its probably better not to
use it if the film already had some images on it since
anti-foggants of all types tend to destroy some of the
latent image.
