OK first let me say hello to you all.
I am a photographer based in the southwest UK. For the last few years I have been working digitally in order to pay the bills. However, I now work at a university and have the opportunity to use film equipment again., while I toy with the idea of trying for my masters in a year or two. In particular, I now have access to some 5x4 gear. I'm excited about this, as the last time I used large format was when I was doing my photography degree four years ago.
So I've borrowed a Wista, and I'm keen to get to work with it. I've found some of my darkslides in our film fridge, along with all the film that has shamefully sat unused since I graduated.
The darkslides look like they have film in them, but apart from some brief descriptions on the darkslides, I have no idea what films they contain!
So my question is this: is there a reference page of 5x4 film notches, so I can go through these darkslides and work out what films are in them.
I understand that the film is not going to be its best anymore. However, it's been refridgerated, and rather than just throwing it away, I may as well try the film out anyway, at least on some test shots while I get back into things.
I apologise if this is a really obvious question - feel free to berate this newbie at will. :-D
Thanks again. Great place you have, here.
