#KODAK C41 BLACK AND WHITE FILM FULL#

It was designed as a major improvement to meet the needs of the small 13×17 mm negatives used in 110 films for the Kodak Pocket Instamatic cameras.

Febrian on The Yongnuo YN50mm F1.Kodacolor-II was the first of a new generation of Kodak color negative films using the C-41 Process.

But I need to keep it super simple, or the thought of spending too much time in post processing with film images will put me off entirely. You’re right about just taking some colour pics and converting them to b/w and seeing how I get on. I sometimes do this for b/w CN film too, when I don’t want the slight colour cast they give and I want a “pure” monochrome look. The same thing happens in LightRoom, but Preview is simpler as it’s the default app for viewing photos on my MacBook. When I’ve “converted” colour shots to b/w on the odd occasion in the past I’ve just opened them in Preview and reduced the (colour) saturation slider down to zero. I’m not one to fiddle around in Photoshop (I never use it, I use Lightroom a little for digital work – but mostly for pictures I’ve taken of film cameras, ironically), and one of the reasons I shoot predominantly film is because it means I spend 95% of my photography time actually out with a camera as opposed to being hunched over a computer, something I do far too much of in other parts of my life!

Want to try developing it in B&W chemicals this flickr discussion may help.

For the technical minded you can look at the full specs here.

You can still pick up expired T400CN it’s predecessor fairly cheaply so likely will be around on the expired market for some years to come Other Info It’s supply will likely continue for some time and in fact cost might dip as reputable sellers find stock nearing expiry date. And certainly don’t fall for the chancers looking for over the odds as you can still find for around the £4-6/roll mark on ebay and even Boots still sell for about £6/roll if you buy 2 rolls on their buy one get one half price. Kodak indicate the film will be around for at least 6 month so don’t panic. If C41 processed worth noting whilst great for scanning or using with C41 film paper, if you want to do darkroom stuff they don’t work easily with B&W photo paper due to the colouration of the plastic carrier material. Interestingly with some tweaks you can develop BW400CN in B&W chemicals if you want (although Kodak doesn’t recommend). Brow Well, Near Dumfries, Olympus Trip 35 I can shot a roll of BW400CN and get processed for £6-7 all in. They are also a great bridge allowing people to dip their toes into B&W. The first is taste and the latter is great if (a) you have the time/space/inclination to self process or (b) are happier paying someone to do it for you (and that someone isn’t going to be your supermarket lab for a couple of quid). They can be criticised for the lack of grain in comparison to traditional B&W and the fact that they are more expensive than some traditional B&W film (and if you self process the cost can be very cheap). Contrast is good (better still with a K2 yellow filter) Olympus Trip 35 with K2 yellow filter, Carlisle 2014 Unlike the Neopan 400CN which warns of storing above 15☌ it seems more tolerant with just a minor warning to protect from heat & X-rays. The backing plastic film sometimes adds soft subtle coffee tones to lab scanned images. Kodak BW400CN is my favourite, very fine, next to no grain and can cope with a bit of over and under exposure.

They do have good latitude but grain does become more evident as it does with CN when the exposure is off. The others are Ilford XP2 super and Fuji Neopan 400CN (weirdly Ilford make it for Fuji – only available in Japan & UK).Īll 3 films if correctly exposed have very fine grain due to their CN background although XP2 is a wee bit grainer IMHO. There are 3 C41 films currently on the market.

Carlisle 2014, Smena 8M Birdoswald 2014 Ricoh 500RF with K2 Yellow filter This is handy if you want to try out shooting B&W as you can have your films processed cheaply and anywhere. This is a bit of an unusual B&W film in that it is meant to be developed in the same way that colour negative film (C41) at any photo lab. In August this Year Kodak Alaris announced the effective death of my favourite B&W film BW400CN.
