Silberra ULTIMA200

The Silberra ULTIMA200 is a black and white film offered by the Silberra brand from Russia. Presumably, the film stock comes from Agfa.

The Silberra PAN200 is another version that offers identical emulsion to the Silberra ULTIMA200, but with a thicker base material.

Black and white images can be made with the Silberra ULTIMA200 because the emulsion is panchromatically sensitized and has a film speed of ISO 200, as specified in the data sheet.

Its fine-grained structure, wide tonal range, and medium contrast make it suitable for a variety of situations, including low-light conditions. The emulsion consists of two layers and is recommended by Silberra for applications such as daylight photography, street photography, portrait photography or architectural photography.

There is no exact development recommendation from the manufacturer for each ULTIMA200 film and film developer combination. However, to achieve the best possible results, it is advisable to develop test strips with different settings. After developing the film, you will receive film strips with the captured images.

It is possible to use the images either analog as prints or digital by scanning. Many developing labs offer a service to make prints in different sizes directly.

Digitization

Digitizing images can be done by using a scanner to scan the film strips. There are several ways to digitize images. One option is to use services of photo labs. Alternatively, it is also possible to purchase a scanner for personal use. The results can be used in various formats, either in digital form or as a printout.

Format of the Silberra ULTIMA200

There are cameras from various manufacturers such as Porst, Canon, Lomography, Olympus and Fujifilm that are specifically designed for 35mm format. The ULTIMA200 film is suitable for these cameras and holds 36 images at normal size.

Storage of the film material

Optimal storage of unexposed material ensures that the quality of subsequent photographs is maintained and changes are prevented.

For best results, the Silberra ULTIMA 200 should be stored in a dry and cool place. It is recommended to develop the film promptly after exposure to avoid possible loss of quality.
