Films for the Fisheye No. 2 Rip Curl Special Edition
What film is recommended for the Fisheye No. 2 Rip Curl Special Edition? The camera is designed to use 35mm 35mm film. There is still a demand for 35mm format, so there are still some companies that manufacture for this format.
Two great films for the 35mm camera are the Kodak Ultramax 400* and the Kodak T-Max 400*. With both you can take beautiful colour or black and white pictures. Both films can be used very flexibly and deliver good results even with a little less light.
The colour film is a negative film and is processed in the C-41 development process. Most external photo labs are experienced in developing this film. Many drugstores offer the possibility of having colour film developed. B/W film must be developed in a black and white developer. This service is also offered by most professional photo labs.
