Film Characteristics
Best for Street: Its ISO 400 speed and broad exposure latitude help capture spontaneous scenes, particularly under changing light. Everyday: A reliable, versatile film that adapts to a range of subjects and lighting conditions without requiring exceptionally precise exposure. Travel: Its broad exposure latitude and useful speed suit varied outdoor and indoor situations where the light can change quickly.
Look & feel Natural: Traditional black-and-white tonal rendition with distinct midtones and visible, classic grain, without special visual effects.
Lighting Mixed light: Its ISO 400 speed and good tolerance of exposure variation make it reliable in sunshine, overcast conditions and shade. Indoors: It can be used without flash in sufficient natural or artificial light. In dimmer light, photographs can also be made at ISO 800–3200 camera settings with appropriately extended development.
Grain Normal: Its traditional emulsion produces visible but not excessively coarse grain, giving photographs a classic black-and-white appearance.
Contrast Normal: Its balanced tonal separation provides detailed midtones and natural transitions between light and shade, with good shadow detail when properly exposed.
