A movie lab in London has introduced a restricted version black-and-white reversal movie named Euston 400. It’s Aperture Printing\u2019s first branded movie.<\/p>\n

Kosmo Foto<\/em> stories that the movie is a changed model of Rollei\u2019s black-and-white destructive inventory, repurposed right into a slide movie the use of a brand new construction procedure evolved by means of one of the crucial lab\u2019s workforce individuals.<\/p>\n

Aperture Printing is positioned in central London, no longer some distance from Euston Highway, and analog photographers in need of to buy the movie will wish to seek advice from the bodily store on Rathbone Position.<\/p>\n

The movie is in response to Rollei 400 and used to be evolved by means of Alex Cole, a lab technician who joined Aperture Printing previous this yr. Euston 400 is anticipated to be the primary in a chain of black-and-white movies designed to be shot as slides and processed the use of the lab\u2019s proprietary chemistry.<\/p>\n

Kosmo Foto <\/em>notes that black-and-white slide movie isn’t a brand new idea. Agfa prior to now launched Dia, a 12-ISO slide movie, which used to be sooner or later changed by means of Scala 200X, a extra extensively followed movie that used to be discontinued in 2005. Extra not too long ago, German producer Adox offered Scala 50, a slide-compatible model of its HR-50 movie, in 2019.<\/p>\n

Cole says that \u201cthis venture has been in thoughts for a very long time,\u201d however growing a competent and scalable procedure takes time. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are numerous on-line sources and fans which were extremely helpful for studying the chemistry and elementary procedure,\u201d he tells Kosmo Foto<\/em>. \u201cThe trouble got here from translating the method into one this is sustainable in a industrial atmosphere with out the information or equipment used when black-and-white reversal used to be final publicly to be had.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking out the chemistry and mechanisms of black-and-white reversal has been a private analysis venture since 2023,\u201d Cole tells Kosmo Foto.<\/em> \u201cTrying out of the method didn\u2019t get started till March 2025. Each and every chemical degree used to be examined personally to offer an entire figuring out of the method. Our reversal recipe has effectively evolved 50+ black-and-white slide movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lab plans to free up two extra slide movies, additionally in response to Rollei black-and-white emulsions. \u201cThe top silver content material and transparent bases produce shiny slides with implausible tonal vary. Each and every movie has other traits as a slide movie. The number of ISO speeds lets in the flicks to be shot in a variety of environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lab has produced 60 rolls of Euston 400 for this free up. The movie is priced at $10 (\u00a38 in step with roll). Building services and products price $26 (\u00a320), or $34 (\u00a326) together with scanning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
