Bellamy at Japan Camera Hunter has announced a new 400 ISO b&w film which will be available in several months time. International orders welcome.
Characteristics
· The very fine graininess and the high speed make this film an ideal for use in traffic infringement cameras in a wide range of weather conditions. Or if you are not a speed camera, street photography, in a wide range of weather conditions.
· The low fog level at high temperature processing makes the film suitable for high volume processing applications.
· Due to its sensitivity to red light, JCH StreetPan 400 is the optimum film for dawn, dusk and winter photography.
· Its speed and sensitometric characteristics make the film extremely suitable for low light and low sun angle photography (long shadow areas) and for wide latitude photographic exposure.
· Although featuring high speed, the graininess of the emulsion is low thanks to the 2-layer emulsion architecture. The low granularity makes the film very scanner-friendly and the scans deliver noise-free images in the image highlights.
· The low fog level at standard processing temperature and at high temperature processing makes the film even more suitable for development in large and small processing machines.
· The image contrast can be controlled by the processing parameters.JCH StreetPan 400 can be processed as a low contrast film for good and average weather photography and as a medium contrast film for bad weather photography.
· Although high speed and near-IR sensitised, this film shows excellent storage stability before use and low latent image drift after exposure.
·JCH StreetPan 400 has a gelatine back coating to prevent scratches on the back of the film which could be picked-up by image scanners.
· Base substrate layers provide permanent anti-static properties to the film, at exposure and after processing.
