EASTMAN Color Internegative II Film 5272™ / 7272™

DESCRIPTION

EASTMAN Color Internegative II Film 5272 (35 mm) and 7272 (16 mm) is a medium-speed ﬁlm with excellent image-structure characteristics and color-correction masking. It is intended for making 35 mm or 16 mm internegatives from reversal color originals on EASTMAN EKTACHROME Film 7240™. This ﬁlm is balanced for printing with tungsten illumination with suitable ﬁlters in the light path. The internegatives can then be printed onto KODAK Color Print Film and EASTMAN EXR Color Print Film.

BASE

This ﬁlm has a clear acetate safety base with rem-jet backing.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

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

RECIPROCITY CHARACTERISTICS

You do not need to make any exposure or ﬁlter adjustments for exposure times from 1/1000 to 1/10 second. For exposure time of either 1 or 5 seconds, increase exposure by 1¤2 stop and use a KODAK Color Compensating Filter 10Y.
