EASTMAN EXR 500T Film 5298
1) Description
EASTMAN EXR 500T Film 5298 (35 mm) is a high-speed tungsten-balanced color negative camera film with microfine grain, very high sharpness, and high resolving power. It feature wide under and over exposure latitude, with whiter whites, and accurate color and flesh-to-neutral reproduction. Enhanced shadow detail provides crisper, richer blacks. It also offers improved shadow detail and blacks in telecine transfers. This film reproduces a wide range of colors for increased performance in special-effects applications.
2) Base
EASTMAN EXR 500T Film 5298 has an acetate safety base with rem-jet backing.
3) Darkroom Recommendations
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.
4) Storage
Store unexposed film at 13ºC (55ºF) or lower. For extended storage, store at -18ºC (0ºF) or lower. Process exposed film promptly. Store processed film according to the recommendations in NAPM IT9.11-1992: for medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at 10ºC (50ºF) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of material having permanent value), store at 2ºC (35ºF) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active use, store at 25ºC (77ºF) or lower, at a relative humidity of 50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and curl-related problems are generally minimized at the higher relative humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to the appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as soon as possible.
For more information about medium- and long-term storage, see NAPM IT9.11-1992, and KODAK Publications No. H-1, EASTMAN Professional Motion Picture Films (1992 Edition) and No. H-23, The Book of Film Care (1992 Edition).
5) Exposure Indexes
Tungsten (3200K) - 500/28 Daylight1 - 320/26
Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings of average subjects made from the camera position or for readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance (such as one of the KODAK Gray Cards, KODAK Publication No. R-27) held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light- or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter accordingly.
