Do you support cameras using DX-code?

SILBERSALZ35 films come within shiny metal cartridges featuring DX-code and therefore support cameras reliant to DX-code!  If your camera does not support DX-code, please make sure to manually change your camera’s ISO and overexpose by one stop.

A 500T would tell your camera in that case “I have […]

Is there a table, chart, or formula for reciprocity failure? (Schwarzschild Effect)

At excessively short or long exposures, photographic film behaves differently than usual, introducing a reciprocity failure. To counter the effects of reciprocity failure, certain compensations can be made. As reciprocity failure will not equally affect all layers of a photographic emulsion to the same degree, noticeable color shifts may be introduced by long exposures on […]
