Adams also loved ortho films

They sure would be interesting to experiment with. I am curious about
some of Karsh's male portraits, I am sure he used ortho film to get the
effect of stressing skin textures.
The first roll of film I ever developed was Verichrome, done under a
ruby lamp by see-sawing it in a tray. I can still see the image slowly
coming up in my mind.

I wish ortho films, like the ones from the 40s, were around today

The sort of 'regular' films around look to be of the order of 40-60 ASA
around 1946. FP3 40 ASA and Selo chrome was 64 ASA. Those speeds are around
that of today's Ilford Pan F. I don't know when Pan F came out but a 1951
ad gives it as around 32 ASA accounting for the safety factor.
Interesting that Ilford had HP3 in 1941 of around 250ASA. These are post
1960 speeds after the standard changed.
Anyway I took the 'cord to see where some derelict boats were being
salvaged from a river. I forgot my meter & had to use my digital camera as
a meter.
I will do another roll properly metered.
