35MM BW FILM - FPP 35mm X-Ray Film
FPP BW 35mm X-Ray Film
36 exp Roll / Shoot between 200 - 400 ISO / Non DX-Coded
FPP X-Ray Film Info & Tips:
- Sourced from medical X-ray film and adapted to standard perforated 35mm film for your still photography camera
- diffusion effect and beautiful, enhanced grain into every photo due to the lack of anti-halation layer
- Variable ISO - shoot between 200 – 400 ISO - Our tests indicate that 200 ISO is the "sweet spot"
- An Orthochromatic (ortho) film. Ortho films can only see blue and green (outdoor) light. Reds are rendered darker and therefore create darker skin tones.
- Our X-ray film has a higher green sensitivity, enabling the film to be handled using a red photographic safe-light and allows processing by inspection, meaning you can load and unload film onto your home development reels when using the safe-light
- Please load in dim light (to avoid light piping) and store in a dark camera bag before and after shooting. If storing your film in fridge, freezer or home shelf, store in a light tight bag as well.
Light Piping and Artifacting
This film stock is subject to "light piping" when exposed to room light. Please load in dim light and store in a dark camera bag before and after shooting. If storing your film in fridge, freezer or home shelf, store in a light tight bag as well. What is light piping? Read our blog by Leslie Lazenby. Due to the conversion to 35mm you may find frames that contain artifacts. This is inherent to the film and may or may not appear on your developed film.
