UNIQUE FILM
This is a wonderfully rare film I recently found. It is actually a
POSITIVE B&W TRANSPARENCY FILM so you don't get negatives but
positives like B&W SLIDES!! You could even mount & project
them. Eastman 5360 DMP is a Direct Motion Picture film from a very rare
discontinued emulsion
which expired in 2002 but is still giving nice results as you can see
from my examples. Only ever sold in reels of 2000 feet or more, It is
an extremely low speed film. Possibly the lowest speed film ever
produced? Originally made for laboratory applications, this unique film
allows you to take long exposure shots in broad daylight! Most of
these example shots were made on a cloudy day with an exposure at ƒ4
and a shutter speed between 4-10 seconds. With higher apertures you
could have exposures up to 10 minutes or more!
I had the unique opportunity to acquire a bulk
roll of this film so I have made a limited number of rolls available
for purchase.
As you can see, my tests with this rare film
produced some nice results. It took me a while to find the right
developing process and I'm sure you will have fun doing your own
experiments. My best results were with a highly concentrated developer
and a high temperature. (Tetenal Paranol 1:10 / 6.5 min. at 24°c) So I
suspect a similar concentration of Rodinal or D-76 would produce
similar results. Additionally this film is "Orthographic" which means
it has a reduced sensitivity to red light. This enables it to actually
be developed using a dim red safelight for visual inspection. I was
able to make several "test clips" from my exposed rolls and
hand-develop them in a tray, checking them every few minutes with a
safelight. This is ideal for trying out different developers and
methods. - Also this allows for some interesting effects in the images
as well. When parts of your subject are in the red spectrum (red
lipstick for example), they tend to come out much darker on the image.
If you're planning on dropping this film off at your
local lab, they will need to use a very high concentration of developer
to get acceptable results. I strongly recommend clip testing & home
development. A good pre-soak is also advised and the rinse will come
out very red.
This film has NO DX Code so you MUST have a camera
that allows manual, long exposures. A tripod or other stable base is
mandatory.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS AT ALL
I'm keeping these rolls inexpensive by re-using old
film cassettes and sticking on an artsy label I've made just so you
know what's inside. Using a bulk loader I made rolls of approximately
20 exposures each, sometimes a bit more or less and as with most bulk
loaded film the very last picture of each roll will not be exposed as
that is where it is taped. This is NOT a stock product from Kodak and I
am not proporting to represent that fine company in any manner.
