Svema DS-4 is a vintage colour negative film from the USSR (Svema, Shostka, Ukraine). ISO 50, 120 medium format.
DS-4 is loved for its distinctive “Soviet” colour rendition — a muted, slightly green-cool palette, gentle contrast and a vintage mood that’s hard to reproduce with modern films. A great pick for experiments and analogue aesthetics.
The film has long been discontinued, so it’s usually found expired — expose generously (lower EI) and expect atmospheric, not always predictable results. Confirm the development process for your specific batch.
