The Hanalogital AGATE is a color negative film. The film is offered by Hanalogital. It is handmade by the German supplier.
The Hanalogital AGATE is designed for color photos. The film speed is specified as ISO 200. It is an effect film. It is a regular color negative film from a major manufacturer that is developed by hand to achieve a specific effect.
This specimen is a film soup film, to be exact. In this form of pretreatment, the film stock is immersed in various liquids. The liquids change the emulsion of the film. After drying, the film can be exposed normally.
In the finished images, for example, color changes may occur or parts of the image may not be visible at all. Therefore, the film can only be used with this understanding and not for images that should reflect the truth. The result can vary greatly with each roll of film due to the craftsmanship involved.
Development of the film
The development of the film is done in C-41 chemistry. This development process is performed by most photo labs. The C-41 process is a standardized development process. For example, you can take the color film to Rossmann and DM for development.
With this type of effect film, you have to be a little careful during development. This is because possible residues of the liquids with which the film was treated can get into the development chemistry. This is especially important to keep in mind when reusing parts of the chemistry for other films.
Formats
The AGATE is only available as 35mm film. The number of frames is specified as 36.
