Missed out on the film news and rumors from January.

      Missed January's film news and rumors. Last week, I discussed the Analogue aF-1 (analog.cafe/comments/u725). Additionally, there’s a new color film that could potentially become the least expensive option, taking over from Kodak ColorPlus: analog.cafe/app/film-price… This was announced last year (kosmofoto.com/2024/05/chin…). Reflx Lab has confirmed further positive updates: "A contact from Reflx Lab who recently visited Lucky Film’s headquarters in Hebei, China, indicated that the new color film is anticipated to be released in Q2 2025. It’s expected to be the most budget-friendly color film on the market" — reflxlab.com/en-ca/blogs/n… Lucky Film previously produced color film for Kodak, but this forthcoming project will be an independent venture. It seems that Lucky is not the same as Fujifilm's new facility in China: analog.cafe/r/film-photogr… Moreover, there were speculations online about Ferrania potentially shutting down. However, it appears that they are not closing, despite recent communication challenges, a period when their website was offline, and a low film stock availability. Eventually, someone from Ferrania (which is a city; check it out!) provided the reassuring update that the company remains operational. #editorial🔥

Review of Fujifilm 400 Color Negative Film

Review of Fujifilm 400 Color Negative Film

Fujifilm 400 Speed Film is a recent product from a Japanese manufacturer produced in the USA. It serves as a substitute for their previously made-in-Japan Fujicolor Superia X-Tra, which at one time incorporated a fourth cyan-sensitive color layer to enhance tonality in mixed lighting—a technology well-known from their iconic Fujicolor Pro 400H emulsion. In this review, I will explore the film's background as well as its technical and visual characteristics. Additionally, I will compare and contrast it with Kodak Ultramax 400.

Rating Ilford HP5+ at ISO 3.

Ilford HP5+ is a ninety-year-old black-and-white film renowned for its versatility, sharpness, and consistent reaction to different development techniques. Many photographers enjoy push-processing it and occasionally pull-processing it. However, to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever pull-processed it to this degree; therefore, this could be the first instance of anyone presenting the technique and results using HP5+ as if it were an ISO 3 film.
