A Creative Canvas.......2006-11-03

This is the best black and white film I've ever worked with.

With a rich, high-contrast output, the film produces dramatic lighting effects from the most placid of scenes. It is especially useful when shooting figures in low light, such as from one lamp; the falling light will be recorded in dramatic shadows and glorious whites. Meanwhile, outdoors it is especially good for picking out patterns such as in wood or stone, and for creating silhouettes out of everyday scenarios.

Something I only discovered after using the film for a long time is that you can put your ISO setting (manual users) to anywhere between 200 and 1000, and still produce perfect exposures. I have no idea how this works - by most standards this should be impossible - but it does. The only change to your image output is the contrast; ISO 200 will give you a more balanced shot, good for skintones in conventional portraits, while pushing it over 600 will increase the contrast even further than normal, almost eliminatiing greys. So much fun!

As an added bonus, this shoots in black and white but can be processed C41 - that is to say, through a colour processor. So you can pay colour processing prices at your local studio, rather than having to send them off; the only difference is your prints will have a slight colouration - usually with a hint of purple or green - instead of 'true' monochrome.

While utterly unsuitable for formal portraits and other orthodox forms of photography, this is a fantastic artistic tool, and will prove perfect for anyone wanting to discover what black and white can really achieve with light.
