What is a redscale film?

Redscale film is a special type of color negative film that uses a special exposure technique to produce a unique, warm red-orange tone. In contrast to normal exposure, in which the light hits the emulsion through the film base, with redscale films the emulsion is exposed directly. This filters out the blue light, resulting in the characteristic red tones.

The Hands on Film Redscale 400 is a versatile film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400. However, due to the special exposure technique, the actual sensitivity may vary.

The variable sensitivity of the photo film opens up a variety of creative possibilities. The film is ideal for portraits, landscapes, street photography and experimental shots. The warm red tones give the pictures a special atmosphere and a touch of nostalgia.

Development and digitalization

The Hands on Film Redscale 400 is developed using the C-41 process, which is also used for conventional color negative films. The film can be developed in most photo laboratories. When digitizing the film, it is recommended to use the scanning service of a professional laboratory to achieve the best results.
