if you are looking for some unusual films for your 35mm camera, you certainly are in right place!
Kodak unusual black and white slide film available for your stills camera.
Please have a look at our other listings for full selection of films we offer.
This listing is for:
10x 35mm roll Black and White Slide film Kodak 2468
Each roll gives you about 36 exposures.
Very slow and extremely fine grain with huge resolving power!
Couple things to remember before buying:
- This is very very very slow film ISO 0.8 (yes you've read this right) have a look below for guide how to expose for such a slow iso.
- standard black and white processing means you can drop it off to your local lab, process it yourself at home(we can provide guidance if needed) or can be Send 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.
- It is a special film, doesn't have sprocket holes therefore cannot be used in cameras that require sprocket holes to work properly(auto film winding or cocking shutter)
Our recommendation is to use cameras designed for Infrared photography (Canon EOS 10 and 10S are cheapest and most popular options, can use all your canon glass on it too)
Or use it in medium format camera (We believe that's really where fun starts!)
We've used mamiya 6x9 medium format camera, it gave us 81x35mm frame size with panoramic ratio of 2.3:1. Have a look at our sample images.
Using film this way exposes full width of film giving much greater image area than standard 35mm film. Very interesting solution for anyone interested in panoramas.
Your format and aspect ratio would depend on camera choice.
6x4.5 -35x42mm(1.2:1)
6x6 -35x56mm(1.6:1)
6x7 -35x67mm(1.9:1)
6x9 -35x84mm(2.3:1)
6x12 -35x118mm(3.37:1)
So how to expose for ISO 0.8?
First of all we would recommend camera with reasonably fast lens. Standard 50mm f1.8 or f2 is sufficient.
For slower lenses Steady hand, inner zen or tripod might be required.
ISO 0.8 is 7 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 5, 4 and 3 stops away from correct exposure. then override manually.
* If you use mobile App, probably best measure at iso 100 and just subtract 7 stops.
* If you use dedicated lightmeter, sekonic goes down to ISO 6, so thats only 3 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:
Film produces beautiful monochrome slides processed in standard black and white chemistry (kodak hc110 worked fine for us)
It is virtually grainless, extremely sharp and has incredible resolving power of 800 lines/mm
All our photos were shot in 1/60-1/15 range, so still acceptable to handhold
