I read (here I think) that this film is around ISO 6. I tried exposing a couple sheets of it metered for ISO 6. One sheet I shot at metered speed, and the other I fudged a factor onto it to guess at reciprocity failure. I figured between the two I would have at least some data to work with.
After processing in Rodinal 1:100 semi-stand, I got completely overexposed negatives. I mean, dmax from corner to corner, no image whatsoever. The edges of the film that are covered by the film holder rails were unexposed. Did I misread about the speed of this film? It's cheap enough I can just shoot a dozen frames at different apertures to establish what speed I'm getting but I thought if someone could help me out I could save some time and chemistry.
Also since the negs were completely black, it was easy to notice that there are spots on them that look like pinholes... little specks with no emulsion. Is this common for a litho film?
