Kodak Motion Picture Film. My standard film for the 35mm format. This film is available from different manufacturers and with different film sensitivities and with a color temperature adjustment for daylight or artificial light (the artificial light films with correction filter 85B, corresponds to KR 15, can also be used in daylight without color shifts).

These films are e.g. B. through a large auction house, from various sellers in Great Britain or from silver salt.  

The company Silbersalz, based in Germany, offers the films including the necessary special development in the ECN-2 process and 21.4 MB scan at a very attractive all-inclusive price (as of July 2021). Have a look there, it's worth it!

The film is also available from other suppliers as 120 roll film. Please note that the films cannot be developed in the standard C-41 process for color negative films. Some providers also only develop the films they have made themselves.

Legend

KB 35mm or referred to as KB 135mm

35mm films in light-tight cartridges, which are inserted into appropriate cameras, for example 35mm SLR cameras of the Canon FD system, such as Canon F1, F1n, AE1, AE1 program, AV1, Ftb, EF, T50, T60, T70, T80, T90 all with FD lens bayonet or

of the Canon EOS system, such as Canon EOS 650, EOS 620, EOS 600, EOS 1, EOS 1n, EOS 1v - of course numerous other manufacturers also made 35mm SLR cameras, but my favorite system is the Canon FD system if it is is about analog 35mm photography.

 

35mm rangefinder cameras also use this type of film; the best-known example is certainly the analog Leica M system with cameras such as Leica M2, M3, M4, M4-2, M4P, M5, M6, M6 TTL, M7 or Leica MA.

 

These systems allow exposures that result in a slide or a 35mm negative in the format 24mm high and 36mm wide (24x36mm).

 

There are also various special camera models or special magazines for film recording for medium format cameras that expose a wider piece of film, for example 24x54 mm.

 

Rollfilm 120

These films are used in medium format cameras. Depending on the choice of camera and / or film magazine, they result in an exposed slide or negative in the sizes 4x4cm, 4.5x6cm, 6x6cm, 6x7cm, 6x8cm, 6x9cm or even 6x12cm, whereby the number of possible recordings on a film is the size of the recording format is.

 

Special forms of roll films 220

Roll film 220 corresponds to the 120 roll film, but it eliminates twice the length, so that the number of possible recordings is doubled. This size is hardly produced anymore.

 

Special forms of roll film 127

The 4 × 4 recording format for 127 film, which was very popular and widespread in the last century, especially in the 30s to 60s, has hardly played a role in recent times. This roll film, which was exactly 4.6 cm wide, was made up as roll film and wound onto a spool. Kodak introduced this film in 1912.

 

Sheet film

Film material for large format photography. These films can be compared with sheets which (with the exception of one special shape) have to be inserted into light-tight sheet film cassettes in absolute darkness. The films are available in sizes 4x5 ", 8x10" or 10x24 "(1 inch is 25.4mm).

 

Here you will find a small compilation of the film materials available today from the companies

Fujifilm offers e.g. Currently the following color slide (color reversal) films for analog photography:

Fujichrome VELVIA 50

 

The new Fujichrome Velvia 50 Professional is a slide film of the absolute top class. The film achieves the same RMS value as the Velvia 50.

The RVP50 is a daylight reversal film with an RMS value of 9 and an ISO sensitivity of 50/18 °. A film that is characterized by its ultra-fine grain, extreme image sharpness and natural, highly saturated color reproduction. It has a high-contrast rendition of all tone values ​​with a fine differentiation from the highlights to the shadows at the same time.

The new Fujichrome Velvia 50 is the first choice in the fields of fashion, product, art, landscape and science photography.

Available as 35mm, roll and sheet film

Sensitivities daylight ISO 50/18 °

Special properties Ultra-fine-grained, excellent sharpness, very high color saturation

Areas of application: fashion, product, art, landscape and scientific photography

Long exposure corrections Exposure compensation not required at 1/4000 (sec.) - 1 (min.)

Superb grain quality, vibrancy and resolving power, as with the current Velvia.

Neutral Grays and Excellent Deep Shadows
Fine neutral gray reproduction from the highlights to the shadows.

Superb push / pull processing
Minimum color balance variation over a range from -1/2 to +1 stop to enable wider photo opportunities. Also allows fine adjustments of exposure and density to be easily done during processing

Fujichrome VELVIA 100

 

The Velvia 100 (RVP 100) Professional uses new technologies that enable a finer grain and a doubling of sensitivity. The color saturation and color rendering of the Velvia 50 are retained.

 

The Velvia 100 uses new technologies that allow a finer grain and a doubling of the sensitivity. The color saturation and color rendering of the Velvia 50, which have made it a reference film for landscape and nature photographers, are retained. The Fujichrome Velvia 50 has been in production since 1990 and has been popular with professionals and ambitious amateurs alike. Since then, photographers have wanted a more sensitive Velvia film. Advances in emulsion technology have now made it possible to produce a slide film with the color characteristics of the Velvia 50, which has twice the sensitivity with finer grains. The new generation of the Velvia 100 should therefore not only appeal to photographers who expect the special color saturation typical of Velvia, but at the same time offer them a product in which the current state of the art has been implemented.
