Dubblefilm Bubblegum 200

Dubblefilm Bubblegum 200 is a color negative film. The film material is offered in the trade under the brand Dubblefilm. It was manufactured by another company. Probably the cartridge contains material from Kodak.

The Bubblegum 200 is a film for color photos. An ISO value of 200 is specified as the sensitivity of the film. The ISO value is a standardized value that describes the sensitivity of the film material. With a higher ISO value, you can achieve a correctly exposed shot even though less light falls on the film.

The Bubblegum 200 is a so-called pre-exposed effect film. This means that the film has been pre-exposed by Dubblefilm. Thus, the colors are tinted and do not have to correspond to reality.

Unexposed material should be stored under optimal conditions to avoid changes in the quality of later photos. Film material will last longest if it is stored in a dry and cool place. Prompt development of exposed film is recommended to avoid deterioration of quality.

Developing the film

Developing Dubblefilm Bubblegum 200 in the C-41 process is necessary to obtain finished images. The C-41 development process is offered by the vast majority of laboratories. This standardized development process results in obtaining almost identical results regardless of the lab. The major drugstore chains in Germany offer a film development service. When development is complete, film strips containing the captured images are available.

This is usually followed by either the creation of prints or digitization. In addition to development, it is usually possible to have prints made directly of the images in various sizes.

Digitization

A scanner can be used to digitize the analog film strips if you prefer the digital form. This service is offered either by the laboratory or one obtains an appropriate device for home use. The digitized images can then be shared on various platforms, including social media, or printed in other formats.

Formats

The Bubblegum 200 is only available for 35mm cameras. One roll of film is enough for 36 images. There is no DX encoding on the 35mm cartridge, so the automatic film speed readout does not work. In some cases, there may be limitations with certain cameras that require a DX code. Canon, Rollei and Fujifilm are some of the manufacturers that offer suitable cameras for the 35mm format.
