I found an almost unused film in an old camera. (wound up to frame 10) Remember the Agfa Dia-Direct film. Super fine grain B&W slide film. Only 32ASA. I'd like to use it but how can I get it developed? I'm not bothered about reversing it will B&W dev do the trick or what??

Sure; 32quid, no problem Smile

I came across a technique for turning ordinary film into reversal (or was it the other way around?); whatever way it was, it holds out hope for being able to do something with this roll, without spending 32quid to process it.

Cheers Dave, I knew about this. I reversal processed FP4 back in the day, exotic chemistry. I was unaware that you could actually buy proper kits for it and I worked in a pro camera shop.

Dia Direct is an extremely fine grain film. You bought it process paid and sent it to Deer Park Road in Windsor (I think).

How does normal slide film take to developing in D76?? Perhaps I ought to try. Nothing to lose.
