Old school: Kodak Panatomic X and Ilford Pan F

All included photos are my own.

I was organising my old negative film collection and came across a few strips of exposures on Kodak Panatomic X and Ilford Pan F. Very low ISO numbers, but I loved the stuff, for the tonality and fine grain. Negative scanners don't do it justice, so I made a few prints the old way and scanned those, to give at least some impression:

Depending on how you developed the film and printed from the negatives, you could get exactly what you wanted, from the hard

to the softer

to that silky, 1920s-postcard effect I find hard to recreate in a digital workflow.

I just googled it and Kodak Panatomic X was discontinued, but you can still buy Ilford Pan F. I'm considering having another go with it 8-).

Nice! Kodak cameras might be discontinued, but see how Kodak stock skyrocketed after the announcement of their involvement in the cryptocurrency sphere.
