Motion
Picture Film

Motion picture film was initially developed specifically for filmmaking, but it became popular in the photography community for its unique color rendering suitable for daylight or tungsten light. This type of film uses the ECN-2 chemical process, which involves removing a black carbon layer from the back of the film.

Color Temperature

Do keep in mind that using daylight balanced motion picture film under tungsten illumination might result in a color shift in images and vice versa. Hence, we recommend using fresh and correct film stock for optimal results.

Camera & Lens

Motion picture film for photography is commonly used in 35mm format such as SLR cameras and rangefinder cameras that offer more advanced controls over the shooting process. There is also a variation for medium format cameras but sprocket holes will be visible as the film will be spliced down then spooled to fit medium format beforehand.

Dx Code

The DX code is that silver and black section on your 35mm film canister. It’s useful in telling electronic cameras information about the ISO value of the film. However most motion picture films sold will not have DX code printed on the canister hence we don’t recommend it for toy cameras or automatic point & shoot cameras.
