I have an 8x10 B&W contact print made in the early 2000's which shows a single V notch about 1/2" in from the edge of the negative. There is no other identification that I can find.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Wilhelm

Thanks, Guys. (No wonder I couldn't find it.)

Lots of different films, mainly the ones from the eastern half of Europe, have single V-shaped notch.
Yeah, that single V notch is not to tell you what kind of film but rather to tell you which side of the film is the emulsion on.
The only other eastern European film that I have used, Efke PL100M, has single semi-circular notch.
Wouldn't surprise me if other films use a single V. How about some specifics from those of you who have used some of the other films with single V notches.
If I remember correctly (by no means a safe bet), weren't Bergger BPF 200 and Forte 200 the same film?
Sheet film cut by aftermarket refinishers may have only a single notch, regardless of the emulsion. That was certainly the case with film I bought from Photo Warehouse, back when they used to cut odd sizes to special order. So I have negatives made with what were most likely FP4 Plus and HP5 Plus, with a single notch.
What shape of notch?
