The Reflx Lab 800 is a color negative film in 35mm format that is characterized by its special origin and aesthetics. It is based on the Kodak Vision3 500T (5219) film material, which was originally developed for cinema film production.
Information and areas of application
The film is designed for 36 exposures and is characterized by a high sensitivity of ISO 800. This property makes it ideal for shots in difficult lighting conditions, such as those that can occur when taking indoor or night shots. The film is designed for shots taken under artificial light.
Film formats
The Reflx Lab 800 is only available in 35mm format. 36 images usually fit on a roll.
Due to its format, the film is compatible with a variety of analog cameras that support the 35mm format. This includes both older models and modern cameras that were specifically designed for use with 35mm film.
Developing the color film
The Reflx Lab 800 is developed using the C-41 process, a widely used standard process for color negative films. This is possible because the Remjet layer of the original film material has already been removed.
Development can be carried out both in a specialist laboratory and at home, provided the appropriate chemicals and equipment are available.
After development, the negatives can be digitized, for example to edit them on a computer or share them on the Internet.
Storing the film material
As with all films, it is important to store the Reflx Lab 800 in a cool, dry place to ensure optimal image quality. Storage in the refrigerator is recommended, especially if the film is to be stored for a longer period of time.
Brand background
Reflx Lab was founded in 2021 by two photographers in Shenzhen, China. Zaishu, a former Zhiyun engineer, and Yongxiang, an e-commerce expert, had a vision to make high-quality footage accessible to photographers. The company specializes in offering film from renowned manufacturers such as Kodak in various formats.
