Light Lens Lab outlined ambitious goals for 2025 and shared more samples of their newly formulated black-and-white film.
“This emulsion reflects the heart of our film project: to create film materials without historial [sic] baggage, third-party patent entanglements, or manufacturer dependency. It is built from the ground up — powered by creativity and user feedback. Our prototype assembly line is set to begin operation in June 2025, with V3 emulsion production following shortly thereafter.” —…
Light Lens Lab has announced yet another new film emulsion just in time for the Lunar New Year.
Their current project is a T-grain black-and-white film — a modern-style fine-grained emulsion, the results of which Light Lens Lab shared on their blog: lightlenslab.com/blogs/upc…
The new film does not have an anti-halation layer (thus producing a similar effect as the CineStill 800T made popular — but in black-and-white). In monochrome, the images produced in this…
Film Washi “E” is a new emulsion for photographers made from a film stock designed for PCB manufacturing.
This film is akin to orthochromatic emulsions (analog.cafe/r/ilford-ortho…), but instead of lacking sensitivity to red colours, Film Washi “E” isn’t sensitive to greens.
Washi “E” has an ISO sensitivity of just 3, and it has a similar sensitivity to printing paper with a similar process for development.
Two major photography manufacturers released new* film this month.
Foma Bohemia, a Czech manufacturer founded in 1921, made their fast orthochromatic Orho 400 film available in 35mm. It’ll come in beautiful vintage-inspired boxes.
Foma says: “It is characterised by good resolving power and contour sharpness, fine grain and high maximum density of the silver image… Its high optical sensitivity enables to take photographs even in adverse light conditions and using shorter exposure times. The nominal optical…
