The Hands on Film Summer 400 is a 35mm film with a sensitivity of ISO 400. This sensitivity makes it a versatile all-rounder that is suitable for both sunny days and cloudy conditions.

The high sensitivity enables shorter exposure times and therefore sharper images with moving subjects. In addition, you can still achieve good results even in poor lighting conditions.

Development and digitalization

Hands on Film Summer 400 is developed using the C-41 process, the most common color negative development process. This means it can be developed in almost any photo laboratory. After development, the negatives can be scanned or printed onto photo paper. Special film scanners that offer high resolution and optimally reproduce the colors and details of the film are suitable for digitization. Alternatively, the negatives can also be digitized by many photo laboratories.

Formats and cameras

The Hands on Film Summer 400 is available in 35mm format and fits most analog cameras that support this format. Regardless of whether it is an SLR camera, a rangefinder camera or a compact camera – the film can be used in a variety of models.

The choice of camera depends on personal preferences and the intended purpose. Basic compact cameras are suitable for beginners, while experienced photographers may prefer an SLR with manual settings.

Storage of film material

To maintain the quality of the film, it should be stored in a cool and dry place. Ideally it should be kept in the fridge, but not in the freezer. Before use, the film should be brought to room temperature to avoid condensation. Unopened films can be stored for several years, while opened films are best used within a few weeks.
