  My Examples: These were all shot at ISO 25 with a Nikon D100 and developed at 20ºc in Rodinal 1:50 for 30 min with short agitation every 10 min.

  This is another extremely fine-grain "lab" film. It expired in 2019 but is still giving wonderful results as you can see from my examples. Like other lab films this is a very slow speed film which was only ever sold in cans of 400 feet or more. It's true ISO is around 6-10 but I’ve been shooting it from 12-50 and over developing a bit with great results. It has an xtra-clear base for easy scanning, and no RemJet!  Made in Japan. You think Neopan is good stuff? Wait till you try this!

    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.


FROM THE FUJI TECH SHEET

"FUJIFILM  ETERNA-RDS 35mm Type 4791 (PET) is a black and white film intended for making archival black and white separations from color digital masters.  ETERNA-RDS offers a significant improvement over conventional non-specific separation film stock, producing finer detail, accurate gradation linearity, improved granularity and sharpness with reduced flare.

Super nano-structured Σ Grain Technology

Fujifilm has developed a technology that precisely controls the light-sensitive structure of the silver-halide grain to nanoscale, resulting in extremely fine grain. Photons generated by exposure to light are concentrated in the photosensitive nucleus via electron accumulators. The grain is designed with a precise electron accumulator structure that efficiently concentrates photons to form the latent image. The grain configuration is precisely engineered to a thickness that minimizes reflections, effectively limiting light scatter and boosting sharpness"



As you can see, my tests with this rare film produced some nice results.
 


    This film has NO DX Code so you MUST have a camera that either allows manual ISO settings



   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 Fuji and I am not proporting to represent that fine company in any manner.
