Lomography Berlin Kino ISO 400, 135-36

Product Description

A Refined Formula for True Film Lovers
Inspired by the New German Cinema sweeping through Berlin in the 1960s, Berlin Kino Film emulsion was an utter blockbuster. However, as German cinema evolved through time, adapting to meet the innovatory spirit of its founding fathers, so did the film formula. Refined and brimming with greater artistic control, the Berlin Kino B&W 400 2019 Formula allows you to capture moments of your life in an eternalized beautiful monochrome.

A Film to Expand the Possibilities of Monochrome
Unique in its high dynamic range and ability to produce different yet equally stunning results with additional filters and development processes, this panchromatic emulsion is a blank canvas for your creativity. The native sensitivity of this film is ISO 400 (27?C). However, due to its impressive latitude, you can push the ISO up to 800, 1600 or 3200 while retaining a remarkable tonal range and detail. Capture the gritty beauty of the streets in motion, or sweep into the studio for effortlessly elegant editorial images filled with soft focus and subtle contrast.

Developing Your Creations
You can develop the film either in the lab or at home with the standard black and white process. For home development, please see the recommendations below or our PDF chart. The standard storage temperature of this film is 20?C, but for long term storage, we recommend keeping this film below 10?C.
Kodak D-76
For standard / general applications, we recommend using a developer such as Kodak D-76. You'll get images with moderate grain size and great contrast for stunning results, without the need for any further manipulation.
Kodak HC-110
When the highest degree of flexibility is required, we recommend using a developer such as Kodak HC-110. You'll get images with full shadow detail, moderate grain and a wide dynamic latitude, retaining all the detail you need for your photographic project.
Ilford Ilfosol-3
If you are prioritizing sharpness or high optical fidelity, we recommend using Ilford Ilfosol-3. You'll get fine grain and excellent sharpness, perfect for printing and enlarging applications, while also rendering good contrast and shadow detail.
Reversal
If you are looking for a unique development process, maximum blackness (Dmax) and improved scanning abilities, we invite you to try the reversal process and turn your negatives into positives. We recommend using the Rollei Black & White Reversal Kit for this process.

Our own view on this new film is that it is great for portraits, street, architectural, and low light/night photography and here is the key for success - is not suited for the brightest lighting conditions. It's grainy and contrasty and reminds us of ""old school"" films having an excellent tonal range giving you a ""soot & whitewash"" result.
