Have a look at our other listings for full selection of films we offer.
Each roll gives you 32/33 exposures.
Couple things to remember before buying:
- This film was designed for motion film industry, but this particular type of film doesn't have Remjet, Yes! you've read this right! no remjet
- Standard C41 processing means you can drop it off at your local lab, home process it or send it back to our LAB for professional processing.(see our other listings)
- film canisters are NOT DX coded, this means you will have to select ISO on your camera manually.
Kodak's technical notes about this film prob won't be much use, but have a look at Flickr
Our experience with this film (sorry for long description but worth having a read):
Woohaa, this is something else!
This is amazing film! process like any other c41 film, scanned looks like slide, but handles exposure like colour negative - great latitude!
yup! slide look without cut off shadows or blown out highlight.
it all sounds great so far, doesn't it? so where's the trick?
here it goes - this film is very very very slow ISO
It is rated ISO 1.6
Most likely slowest film you've ever shot.
Stopper filters for long exposures during the day? Forget it! Hello portraits shot at f1.2 on sunny day!
So how to expose for ISO 1.6?
First of all we would recommend camera with reasonably fast lens. Standard 50mm f1.8 or f2 is sufficient (that's what our examples were shot at)
For slower lenses Steady hand, inner zen or tripod might be required.
ISO 1.6 is 6 stop lower than ISO 100.
* If you use meter in your camera, just dial lowest possible ISO setting, Usually 25, 12 or 6, than that 4, 3 and 2 stops away from correct exposure. then override manually.
In our case we've used old canon 300 camera (they can be had for less than £10) Selected lowest ISO (in that case 6) and dialed exposure compensation +2 stops. SIMPLES!
* If you use mobile App, probably best measure at iso 100 and just subtract 6 stops.
* If you use dedicated lightmeter, sekonic goes down to ISO 6, so thats only 2 stops away. We recommend Gossen Luna Six Pro (Goes down to ISO 0.8)
* Alternatively have a look online for ' Ilford Pinhole Exposure Calculator '
Sample photos:
It is virtually grainless, thus very sharp film, but doesn't have much of antihalation layer so sometimes might give you this dreamy aura around highlights, bit like colour infrared film.
All our exposures ended up to be in 1/250th - 1/60th range, perfect for handheld photos.
Film looks great! characteristic changes a bit with overexposure(more saturated colours) and underexposure (more blueish tint)
Obviously our photos were shot on sunny day, but we also were looking to push it in terms of latitude,
hence photos with sun in the frame or extreme highlights and shadows. and oh my! this film delivers!
Thank you for looking.
