GAF Superpan film?

The ca 1976 Morgan & Morgan lists the 2881 at ASA 250 and shows a straight line increase in contrast with development. The 2831 is in there too. I'll look it up later.

OK. The 2831, ASA 125, is "a panchromatic film with extremely fine grain and high acutance, medium speed, moderate contrast, and an extended tone range"

Thank you so much! GAF's version of Plus-X. I have 2 boxes of Plus-X from the same stash. This will be fun.

Yes, Thanks for the research Chauncy!
Mine (the 2881)@ asa 250, sounds kinda like XX, I have 150 sheets to get it dialed in.

I just came across this thread, I apologize for resurrecting an old one.

I was given some of this old GAF 4x5 film a few months back. I have been giving thought to experimenting with it. How did you guys go about developing it? I use TMY-2 with D76 1:1. Would that work?

I have much less than 150 sheets to try it out

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
