35mm film vs. 120 film
What is the difference between the two?
120 film
120 film produces a much larger negative, giving images a refined level of detail and smooth tonal range. It is often chosen for portraits, landscapes, and intentional compositions.
Kodak C-41 vs. Ilfotec HC
Explore the differences between these two film-processing options.
Kodak C-41
The main process for developing all color negative film. We use Kodak pro C-41 chemicals for commercial use.
Ilfotec HC
This is our black and white developer of choice. It produces consistent results across various black and white films. It is based on Kodak HC 110.

Push and pull development
Intentionally shooting not at box speed to achieve desired effects.
Push development
This is where the photographer intentionally under exposes a roll of film and it is developed for longer. This "increases" the films ISO rating. This is good for low light or high contrast.
Pull development
This is where the photographer intentionally over exposes a roll of film and it is developed for less time. This decreases contrast.
