  1. A slight technical nit – orthochromatic film doesn’t make sepia prints any more than any other film; it means a film that doesn’t react to red light (and can therefor be developed under a red safelight).

Sepia prints have to do with the paper chemistry and can be made from either type of film.

Couldn’t get into that facebook group unless you worked there. I’m sure they were sharing….
