Film Characteristics
Best for People: Its nuanced tonal rendition makes detailed, natural-looking portraits possible while preserving subtle differences in skin tones. Everyday: It is developed with the same C-41 process as colour negative films, making it a practical choice for regular, everyday photography. Street: Its ISO 400 speed and tolerance of exposure variations make it suitable for capturing spontaneous scenes and moving subjects.
Look & feel Natural: Subtle tonal transitions and balanced shades of grey give it a natural black-and-white appearance, without special visual effects.
Lighting Mixed light: It tolerates exposure inaccuracies well, so it can retain good detail in sunshine, overcast conditions and shade. Indoors: With sufficient natural or artificial illumination, it can be used without flash, especially with a fast lens.
Grain Normal: Grain can be clearly visible, particularly in 35 mm photographs and high-resolution scans. Its appearance also depends on exposure and the amount of enlargement.
Contrast Normal: Its rich tonal range provides well-separated midtones and detail in both light and dark areas. The final image appearance can also be adjusted during scanning and enlarging.
