Re: Is Elke KB25 the same in 8x10 ?
the 120mm base is much clearer than the 8x10 base. I was actually a bit disappointed by this. I dont feel that the 8x10 version of this has the same look as the 120mm, even though the emulsions are probably the same. The closest thing I have found is Adox Pan 25, which is the same (base and emulsion) as rollei pan 25. The base is completely clear.
Re: Is Elke KB25 the same in 8x10 ?
120 film is conventionally on a thin acetate base, while sheet film is generally on thicker polyester. No difference in this case. A little bit of difference in base density
is easy to print through, especially given the great potential exposure range of this
particular film. I be more concerned about handling the fragile emulsion.
Re: Is Elke KB25 the same in 8x10 ?
I stand corrected. My experience is in the Motion Picture world where the 16mm, 35mm, and 65mm are all on the same base. The print films are a different story. Not knowing how the factory is set up, the same emulsion could be laid down on different bases on the same day. The emulsion machines are quite amazing!
