Film – Perutz 17

The German firm of Otto Perutz was established in 1870. It was the first to produce a roll film for the Leitz camera.

In 1880 Otto Perutz started the Perutz-Photowerke in Munich, Germany.

They first made dry film plates there and later made many innovations in early film photography.

The Perutz 17 film was produced in 1956, eight years before Perutz was taken over by Agfa in 1964 and in the year of my birth.

I got the Perutz 17 „tropical“, 40 ASA, expired 1966.

The „Tali“ meant in daylight loadable film, these had no cassettes.

Sadly I got no usable negs out of it.

I scanned the flyers that came with the 120 film and found the original R09 dev receipt:

I exposed the fim in an old Agfa Isolette a bit longer, using the sunny sixteen + one stop.

In R09 development 1:40 I used 20 Min at 20 Celsius, every min 3 agitations.

To compensate for non constant agitation you should at 15%, I did 20 min dev to give the film one more stop due to the old age.

Results were fine.
