FPP Yeti 35mm BW info:
- Yeti is an orthochromatic negative 35mm motion picture film adapted for use in your still camera
- Yeti 35mm and all 35mm motion picture films do not have a "rem jet" layer and can be developed by any commercial film lab that develops BW film
- A unique, different look (from traditional panchromatic BW films)
- Ultra fine grain
- Creamy, rich BW tones
- An Orthochromatic (ortho) film. Ortho films can only see blue and green (outdoor) light. Reds are rendered darker and therefore create darker skin tones.
- Blue and green sensitivity enables 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
- Non-DX coded. Dial ISO 6 into your 35mm SLR camera or use a hand-held light meter (or light meter app)
- If unable to meter you can shoot in sunlight 1/60th sec f4 or 125th sec f2.8
- Avoid using a yellow filter and shoot only in daylight

How do I meter for such a low asa?
Use a hand-held meter, phone light meter app or the Black Cat Exposure Guide. You can also set your camera's internal meter to iso 25 and then open 2 - 3 f-stops.
Beware of Light Piping: 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.
