Black-and-white films
A black-and-white film turns colors into grays according to its own spectral sensitivity, which is why two films can render the same sky or skin differently. Most are developed in traditional black-and-white chemistry, where the developer and the time set much of the contrast. Each page compares the datasheet granularity and spectral curve with the reviews.
