All the can reads is




"GAF Corporation. Open in total darkness. Recording Type 2005."




Unfortunately the internet doesn't seem to have much on this - I'd love to know what ISO, color or type of film it is before shooting it.

    This resource: ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=7227224 at least groups a couple of their film offerings for an expo. Its order appears to go: specialty, color slide, "recording film". That probably narrows it down to color negative or black and white. They used C-22 back then, so there's that as well.

    If you've got a bunch, it'd be best to burn a roll shooting a constant object at varying ISO's from, probably 12 on up (12,25,50,100). Include half stops if you like. Develop as black and white and see how it goes.

Black & White Super Hypan 500 ISO
Quite outdated - Why bother using - maybe best to send to a museum.

    "Why bother using" because it's fun to try new things! 🙂 I like expressing my vision in different chemical types... this will definitely be the first time I use 500 iso! Not very common
