I have an exposed roll of Ansco "All-Weather" 120 film I think I'll try to develop and print next time I've got all the chemicals out, but does anyone know what "speed" it's supposed to be? I'm guessing it was meant to be 200... --scott

I have a vague recollection of it being marketed as a film of very wide latitude, useful for box cameras with no adjustments, thus no need for ASA speed info. A Google search came up with anold advert., saying it was basically Agfa Plenachrome, a fast orthochromatic film.

Scott, my guess is 100, with a wide exposure lattitude that is similar to my two remaining rolls of Verichrome Pan.

I recently found an exposed roll of Kodak "Verichrome Pan" film in a box dated Dec. 1967. The film itself is marked "620 exposed, Ansco All-Weather". It appears to be in good shape, however it was outside in a barn and exposed to New England temperature extremes.
Would it still possibly be good and how should I go about finding someone to develop it for me?
Thanks for any advice.....
