    This is a super-fine grain, high contrast, black & white film which has recently developed a bit of a cult-following. Originally intended to make high-quality duplications of for the motion picture industry, this rare film works perfectly in most 35mm still cameras. Rated around ISO 50, it has a very narrow laittude so there's not a lot of room for over or under exposure, but when you hit the sweet spot, It produces a classic, high-contrast Film Noir look and is great for experimentation. It can be processed in a wide range of B&W developers. I have used both Rodinal and Promicrol. It's almost impossible to buy this film in less than 1000-foot quantities, so I've aquired a large reel and rolled it into regular 35mm film cartridges making it easy to try out this awesome emulsion for yourself.

    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 Eastman Kodak and I am not proporting to represent that fine company in any manner. There is no DX code on this film.

My Examples: The square shots were shot with a Fujica Rapid S2 24x24 camera and developed in M&B Promicrol. The others were shot with a Ricoh 500GX rangefinder and developed with Rodinal 1:100 for 60min at 20ºc.
