Rollei Pan 25: Superb Black and White Film

So you’re looking for a rare black and white film? And you love to shoot long exposure? Why not have a try with Rollei Pan 25? It offers you everything you can ask for from a black and white film!

Rollei Pan 25 is another great addition to my film vocabulary. It happened half a year ago when I’m looking for a rare film to try. An online shop offered me Rollei Pan 25. I kept it for quite a long time and finally I had the chance to get my hand on it on my last holiday.

It’s a very high contrast film with almost no visible grain available. Keep in mind for those who are using toy cameras such as Holga, Diana , Vivitar UWS, etc. that you most probably have problems getting properly exposed frames, as these cameras have fixed shutter speed and aperture. I highly suggest this film to those who are using SLR cameras, rangefinders, and even the Lomo LC-A+ or LC-W cameras. *Bear in mind that the LC family have internal light meters but please be careful as you most probably will get shaky pictures.

I loaded it in my Zenit APK and went shooting around 11am – 4pm only to make sure that I get proper exposure. I rarely used aperture 16 as I don’t have a steady hand or tripod, and the lighting condition didn’t allow me to do so. For those who loves shooting long exposure I think it’s a very good film for you guys. So what are you waiting for? Get it now!
