Particularly favorable for landscape and portrait scenes, filters can dramatically change the look of an image, adding contrast, removing haze and shifting the tonal range. This can easily be achieved with the use of photographic filters. However, depending on the time of day, subject or lighting conditions one might want to limit which colors are captured in the image. This renders the world, and your images in a classic monochrome look, each color represented by a different shade of grey. Potsdam is a classic panchromatic emulsion, meaning it captures all frequencies of light visible to the naked eye. Slower than its older brother, and with a finer grain structure Potsdam Kino is suited particularly well to scenarios which require image quality above film speed – making it great for studio, landscape and architecture work. A noteworthy aspect of the Potsdam Kino film is its intended compatibility and thus outstanding performance when processed in reversal. This medium speed, panchromatic and triacetate based film is made of a heavy silver halide composition which produces rich tones, great dynamic latitude and allows for photographic flexibility. Like its older Berlin Kino brother, Potsdam Kino Film is inspired by a vintage German film, originally designed for cinematography and filmmaking – thus inheriting many unique and beneficial qualities.
