How they look
- P30
- Revived cinema-origin emulsion inspired by Ferrania's historic formulations. Very high contrast with crushed shadows. High silver content (5g/sqm). Requires accurate metering - shoot at exactly ISO 80.
- Street Candy MTN 100
- A repackaged German motion picture stock, widely believed to be ORWO UN54 from the Filmotec factory in Wolfen. Delivers a distinctive cinematic look with medium-high contrast, fine grain, and excellent sharpness. The tonal range favours deep blacks and crisp highlights, making it well-suited for street photography and documentary work where you want images with presence. Processes in standard black-and-white chemistry. The motion picture heritage shows in the results—there's a certain character that feels different from traditional still photography emulsions.
