You''d be amazed at the enhanced tonal change you''ll receive. It seems to me anyone who has tried this film to unsatisfactory results, simply isn''t utilitze a professional lab with a qualified printer at the helm, or needs to start rating this film properly at E.I. The Traditional Black and White films you see are referred to as Silver Gelatin, the reason for this is fairly simple Theyre made of tiny crystals of silver. For architecture and landscape, and portraits, T400CN is a winner. Tri-X and Fuji Neopan 400 still tops for me. It’s one of my favorites since, not only are the tones and aesthetics great, but it’s also the cheaper option for shooting black and white since most labs can batch develop for color film.

Also, you can actually shoot it at any speed between ISO 50-800. Since I prefer the added textual quality grain provides in my dad to day, and even some portrait shootings, I shoot non-chromogenics. This film is developed using C-41 chemistry, which is normally used for color films.
When I want no grain, I shoot T400CN, period. Detailed but easy to follow explanations are provided regarding the effects fo pushing and pulling film.

A downloadable pdf is included that contains the time charts for pushing and pulling common black and white film stocks. You always strike a compromise somewhere with these films. This guide covers all basics about pushing and pulling black and white and colour negative film. It has a beautiful smooth tonal range I love, but cannot match T400CN for its overall grainless look. Since this is not the ONLY B&W film I use, I recently began shooting Fuji 100 Acros based on recent reviews. If you''re an amateur, I strongly suggest you consider this film as mini-insurance policy in tricky lighting situations. Try that with any non-chromogenic and kiss half your prints goodbye. 200 to 800 on the same roll with fantastic results. The best attribute to this film is its latitude. I know printers who disagreement with me, but all I have are my own prints for comparison. I personally prefer this chromogenic over Ilford XP2 Super, which I find doesn''t enlarge as cleanly to 8x10 and 11x14 as T400 does. Yet, I have two 4圆 prints on my wall printed from Rite-Aid on T400CN.

If a pro has difficulty, you can bet a computerized mini-lab machine will be of no help. At 400 rating, I have heard complaints about how difficult (time consuming) it can be to find the right contrast range. And yes, I only use professional printers here in L.A. I almost always rate this emulsion at 200 - sometimes 100, depending on contrast variation of the scene. I have photos to 11x14 that look medium format to even the most discerning eye. Now take it or leave it – I only have 55 years’ experience and color print and process is my field.Īlso, you can likely go to a local lab and buy a quart or so from them.I''ve shot almost every B&W emulsion over the years, and never found any to date that can rival T400CN for its latitude and lack of grain (being a dye based film). If I could not find or could not afford or if it was a pain to get the right stuff I would use ordinary black & white rapid fixer. Now I will tell you that the best solution to use is one designated for the C-41 process. Besides, the condition is reversible by re-fixing. This leuco cyan dye condition has been a problem but modern films are now more resistant. The cyan dye may remain in the leuco state if the pH is too low.

They blossom to become full blown cyan, magenta and yellow at the end of the processing cycle. These dyes are initially frail, a state called leuco (Greek for white). These films are incorporated meaning the dyes are inserted during manufacture.
It also works fine for C-41 color films and E-6 slides.
All organic stuff undergoes changes when heated or subjected to a pH change. It DOES work perfectly well on C-41 black and white films, like Ilford XP-2 and Kodak 400CN, so you can use it on them. The dyes used in modern films fall under the heading of organic chemistry. However, the formulation is nearly the same as its black & white cousin. You will not destroy your film using any old Rapid Fix – the same one used for black & white.
