New 16-mm Fujicolor Reversal Films RT500 and RT125

Takashi Horiguchi

The two new 16-mm Fujicolor reversal films RT500, Type 8428, and RT125, Type 8427, are intended for professional motion picture and television use. They have exposure indices of 500 and 125 E.I. respectively under tungsten illumination. Even though their speed has been increased in comparison to earlier Fujicolor reversal materials, their granularity has been reduced, resulting in better image definition. The structure of the films is described, and data are given of filters to be used under normal and divers specific lighting conditions. Also, data on grain quality, definition (contrast transfer function), spectral sensitivity, and spectral density are provided. These films can be treated in various processes formulated by Fuji Photo Film Co., and they are compatible with processing by the Eastman Kodak VNF-1 and RVNP processes. The RT500 film, Type 8428, can be force-processed, doubling its exposure index, or even quadrupling it for special assignments. The new films offer the professional a wide field and ample range of applications.
