For Sale Astrum Winter 2025, faster IR film! lots of formats including ULF!

[MCB18]

This is the second Astrum order for 2025, and I am very excited to give you guys the opportunity to get some of this awesome film!

Orders are now open! PM me and I’ll either add you to the discord or I’ll send you the link to the form on here if you would prefer that.

The films on offer:

Foto-32
A low speed, high contrast, ortho-panchromatic (slightly red sensitive) film that has an extremely fine grain. Can be shot at EI 25-100 to varying degrees of contrast. This is a sound recording film (either Kodak 2378 or ORWO TF 12D), also sold as Washi-S, and FPP’s “Svema blue sensitive”.

Although this film can be used with normal B&W developers, I have found a developer recipe that works extremely well with this film, called H&W control. It gives a nice contrast, and the film can be exposed up to EI 80! I will also be offering this developer here, in 100ml bottles. Examples on 35mm, developed in H&W control:

(coming soon, still waiting for scans)

FN-64
A 100 ISO, extended red sensitivity film with a nice grain structure that captures detail well. This is a very popular film, and one of my favorites. This film is Aviphot 80. Examples on 220:


IR-200
For those that like shooting IR, but don’t like having to use a super low EI, this is the film for you! This film appears to be an old areal emulsion, and has slightly more sensitivity than even Aviphot 200. Note: this film is on a very thin, 0.06mm PET, so carful handling is required.

Sensitive up to 775nm, this film performs extremely well with a 720nm IR filter, allowing IR exposures metered at EI 25-50, 1-2 stops faster than Aviphot 200. Examples at EI 50 with a 720nm filter on 120:

This is "Astrum" film? I tried to get some more of it last year and what I got was rebranded "Svema." I really liked the Astrum film and haven't tried the Svema yet. Don't know if it's the same film or not.
