ILFORD PANF 35mm- Ei :8~50 iso
120 - Ei :10~100 iso
NORMAL dr5 ISO: 2035mm & 25120
This is exceptional image quality! A traditional emulsion , very sharp, almost a grain-less, smooth imagequality with a full tonal range. PANF speed is slow under dr5. This sacrifice might be well worth it. It has the best D-MAX of all the ILFORD films, 4.10+. Shooting PANF at a slower speed compresses the contrast slightly but PANF doesnt relinquish it's natural quality at any iso,. We suggest testing this film first in dr5. Experience is best obtained 1st hand when dealing with darker or shadow based scenes. PANF can have a 12 stop range in certian situations.
PLEASE
NOTE:
Pan-F 120 & 35mm act as different films in dr5 yet the image quality is the same. The 2 formats have different exposure indexes in the process. The latitude
and grain is the same. Pan-F 35mm is also a little cooler toned than the
120 counterpart. We highly suggest you test this film if you have not
used it before in dr5.
dr5 Pan-F's NORMAL speed is 25-iso for the 120 version & 20-iso for the 35mm.
In developer 1-neutral, Pan-F-120 has a "very" slight warm neutral feel. 35mm Pan-F is very cool in tone. Depending on the density of the image [light to dark]. In DEV-2, Pan-F produces a rich sepia-on the yellow-side tone. A lighter brown-yellow tone if the image is bright. 35mm Pan-F has the same color-tone but less intense.
NOTE: Pan-f is not a hearty film. Be sure to use the freshest film stock possible. Do not use old film stock or even long stored refrigerated stock for dr5 use. Unlike the other ilford films this film type is the most susceptible to fog. Protect the 120 film from direct light between loading and processing. Please test film stock that has been sitting more than a year, even if it is not out dated. A "fresh" Pan-f image is unsurpassed.
