KODAK ROYAL GOLD 25 Film

DESCRIPTION

KODAK ROYAL GOLD 25 Film has the same technically advanced characteristics as the film it replaces—KODAK EKTAR 25 Film. Like all ROYAL GOLD Films, it is designed and produced to meet the needs of knowledgeable and discriminating photographers who want more from photographs than general-purpose films can provide. ROYAL GOLD 25 Film offers micro-fine grain, extremely high sharpness, and the capability for an extremely high degree of enlargement. The film is designed for exposure with daylight or electronic flash.

Use ROYAL GOLD 25 Film in cameras that allow you to set the film speed manually, or in cameras that will correctly set the film speed automatically from the DX code on the magazine. (Some automatic 35 mm cameras do not read the DX code for ISO 25/15˚ film and will underexpose it.) This film requires more precise exposure control than general- purpose films.

Other features include—

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

Load and unload film in subdued light.

Store unexposed film at 70˚F (21˚C) or lower in the original sealed package. Always store film (exposed or unexposed) in a cool, dry place. Process film as soon as possible after exposure.

Protect negatives from strong light, and store them in a cool, dry place. For more information on storing negatives, see KODAK Publication No. E-30, Storage and Care of KODAK Photographic Materials—Before and After Processing.
