8x10 Du Pont Newspaper film information/background

[mooresean68]

Hi All,

Is anyone familiar with this film? I can't seem to find any real information on this film: Du Pont "Graphic Arts Film" Orthochromatic Newspaper film, Custome Lateral N-IID, I'm guessing this is your basic "copy/line/graphic" film.

Took a chance on ebay and at the price point for just mucking about, 200 sheets I couldn't pass up. Finally got around to shooting some as an test to see if it would capture anything, surprisingly it did.

Both examples, same subject and setup using
Speed @ 1/5th
Aperture @ f/23
ISO @ 100
Using a Bausch & Lomb - Unicum shutter with a SEROCO 12" lens with a lot of separation on the rear cell

Both developed using Rodinal 1:50 for 5 minutes
