64 speed films?

EASmithV · Jul 8, 2009

Can someone name all the 64 speed films that are available on the market today? I am only aware of Kodachrome and Ektachrome 64.

Well I shoot Ilford FP4+ at 64ISO developed in Xtol 1:1. So I consider it a true 64ISO film not Ilfords rated 125!!

Some also shoot Kodak Plus-X at 64ISO also.

Other than that I don't know of any others.

Fuji has a 64 speed tungsten film but I believe is discontinued.

Plus-X is good at 64. I've used it at 64, box speed (100 or 125 depending on if you're using Kodak's or Freestyle's box), and 500. I've read you can push further, but I don't need to.

I personally rate Plus-X at 500 and develop for 11 minutes at working strength (no dilution). It's perfect for the type of work I do at that point. No contrast filters are necessary if you have a good negative. However, that's probably true for most films.

That's EI 64, not ISO 64. Shooting at other than box speed is an EI, never an ISO.

That was the news several months ago, and I can still find it and it's still listed on Fujifilm's website.

I don't know what's going on anymore with Fujifilm nor Kodak.

Kodak EPY, Fuji T64, Kodachrome.....hmmmm. EPR is gone to my knowledge. I think that might be it.

There are many films that are not ISO 64 that may end up being EI 64 for the way you shoot and process them.

According to Dirk over at Japan Exposures (Megaperls), Ektachrome 64 is "Discontinued in rest of the world, only available in Japan".

I had an email from Fuji UK telling me T64 is being discontinued worldwide.

Kodachrome we all know about.

That leaves Ektachrome 64T.

Bleeding shame....the Fuji version is so much better.

I'm afraid they're both too slow for me, although I did at one stage consider pushing T64 to ASA250. With 320T gone, I shoot B&W indoors now.
