A New Color Negative Film for Better Picture Quality

An outstanding gain in picture quality is realized with a new camera negative film, designated as Eastman Color Negative Film, Type 5251. This film is intended to replace the present Type 5250 film of the same name. It has the same speed as the present film but has substantially lower granularity and certain other characteristics that lead to better color reproduction in the final prints. Processing and printing procedures are the same as those required for the present film. Projection demonstrations illustrate the improvement in picture quality obtained through use of the new material both for prints made directly from the original negative and for prints made from a color duplicate negative.
