KONO! ROTWILD No 2 is a 135 redscale film, 36 exposures, C-41 process. The maker rates it across a range, ISO 100–400: this is the second version of their own ROTWILD redscale.
What redscale is
The film is loaded into the cassette back to front, so the light passes through the base first. That pushes the frame towards red and orange — from a warm amber palette to an almost monochrome red. It is not a fault, it is the entire point of the stock.
Choosing a speed
The ISO 100–400 range is your instrument here. The lower the exposure index — that is, the more generous the exposure — the more yellow and green come through; the higher it is, the deeper and more solid the red. If this is your first roll I would set something in the middle and bracket a stop either way.
What to shoot on it
Redscale works best where there is plenty of direct light: a sunlit landscape, architecture, the sea, desert textures. In overcast weather and in shade the frame simply goes dark.
Processing
Ordinary C-41. Tell the lab it is redscale, so nobody tries to «correct» the colour during the scan.
