FOMA Cine Ortho 400 16mm/30,5m , perforated on one side is black-and-white negative film in Cine films Super 8 to 35mm format with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400. The technical description emphasizes fine grain and high resolving power. Its latitude makes exposure and scanning more forgiving. Orthochromatic sensitivity renders reds darker and gives portraits and architecture a distinctive tonal character. This is an effect-oriented material, so colour and density can vary with exposure and lighting.

Best uses

A practical choice for everyday photography, changeable weather, street work and available-light portraits.

Practical notes

I recommend metering carefully, especially for reversal and effect films, and making a short exposure note for the first roll. Develop in BW chemistry or use a lab that supports this process.
