Hi all!
I am always on the lookout for interesting new film, and I think I found some film that might be interesting to a few of you!
At the moment I’m still catching up on other film orders, so please expect a 2-3 week lead time if you order within the next 2 weeks. I wanted to put this out here to gauge interest for this film, as the amount of interest might determine whether or not I attempt a big project involving this film during the summer.
This film is NOT ordinary camera film! It is meant for laser imagesetting machines with IR lasers, and is usually used to make plates for printing presses, PCB lithography, and other graphics art applications. As such, it has a unique sensitivity spectrum, and produces very sharp negatives with very high contrast and limited latitude on an ultra-clear, 0.1mm PET base that dries flat.
The film I have now seems to be from a different manufacturer than Agfa (the only remaining manufacturer), but I can get Agfa film new, and it will behave very similarly to what I have now.
When shooting in visible light, I have found it should be exposed at EI 3 to get the best results. Some examples shot without a filter (HC-110 F):
When shooting with a 720nm filter, EI 0.8 produces good results in my testing. Some examples shot with a 720nm filter (HC-110 F):
A red 25 filter may allow for Wood effect at a higher speed, but as of now my red filter has not arrived.
As of now, these are the development times that I have found work best with this film:
I am very happy to announce that I am (almost) done with school, which gives me a bit more time to work on things for this.
35mm will move forward, and I will be able to make LF as well from the roll I already have. I am still trying to see if 120/220 can be made, however that is proving more challenging.
In case more than is available from one roll is ordered, unless enough is ordered to justify a second roll, the priority will be given to those who have filled out the form first.
You can pay as soon as you fill out the form if you wish, but you do not have to. Payment is due 2 weeks after enough orders are placed to ensure delivery of the film, I will let you know when that happens. If payment is not made by the cut-off, anyone who was not on the original order will be given the opportunity to get their order fulfilled.
