FAQ

  • 250D is ISO 250 and balanced for daylight, ideal for outdoor or well-lit interiors. 50D is ISO 50, also daylight balanced, with finer grain for bright outdoor settings. 500T is ISO 500, balanced for tungsten light, great for low-light or indoor shooting, and can be used in daylight with a filter. Double-X is black-and-white negative film with ISO 250 in daylight or 200 in tungsten, offering a classic cinematic look. Color negative films, like 250D, 50D, and 500T, are designed for color photography, while black-and-white negative films, like Double-X, capture images in monochrome with a wide tonal range.

  • Yes, our films are compatible with all standard 35mm cameras. Just make sure your camera can load and advance the film properly.

  • We don’t hide the origin of the films we sell. Our films are sourced directly from Kodak, ensuring top-notch quality and authenticity.

  • Remjet is a black anti-static layer found on some cinema films, like 250D, 50D and 500T. It helps prevent dust and static build-up during filming but must be removed during processing. This is why these films require a special processing method, like ECN-2, to ensure proper development and they cannot be developed in minilabs. Most labs today offer this process, so don’t worry.

  • You can have our films processed at any lab that supports ECN-2 or C-41 processing, depending on the film. Some specialized labs offer both options, or you can process them yourself with the right chemicals.

  • For our color films, the ECN-2 process is recommended for the best results. However, C-41 can also be used for color films, but it may affect the color balance and contrast. For black-and-white films like Double-X, traditional black-and-white processing is ideal.

  • The shelf life of our films depends on storage conditions, but they typically last for about 2 years when kept in a cool, dry place. For the best results, store them in a refrigerator or freezer to preserve their quality. Just make sure to allow the film to reach room temperature before loading it into your camera.

  • Each film has its unique look: 250D gives vibrant colors for daylight scenes, 50D offers fine grain and sharpness in bright conditions, 500T provides rich tones in low-light or tungsten settings, and Double-X delivers a classic, cinematic black-and-white look with a wide tonal range.

  • No, our films do not have DX coding. We use a variety of empty canisters sourced from different places, so we don’t apply DX codes. In point-and-shoot cameras, this means the camera will automatically set the ISO to 100. However, there's a way around this: you can apply a DX code found online to the canister to set the correct ISO.
