Light Lens Lab to start producing photographic and cinematic films


Light Lens Lab announced they will begin researching, developing, and producing photographic and cinematic films - see the details here (previous coverage of LLL is available here):

Happy Lunar New Year!

We are excited to announce that, to celebrate this special occasion, we will begin researching, developing, and producing photographic and cinematic films.

Our initial research has yielded promising results. Our first emulsion test indicates that our black-and-white T-Grain silver halide structure research has succeeded. We conducted a test shot using our Seagull Upgrade Project TLR Camera. However, the antihalation layer was not applied to the film during this testing phase. A new antihalation layer will be utilized for future films.

Our goals for this project include researching, developing, and producing films through the following development processes:

  • Black and White film with T-Grain Structure, with speeds ranging from 100 to 1600
  • C-41
  • E-6
  • Instant Peel-Apart Film
  • ECN-2 for cinematography
  • And more in the future

We also aim to produce films in various photographic or cinematographic formats; please stay tuned for future releases.

The Film Project will utilize our newly developed proprietary machine and emulsion process, allowing us to be self-sufficient in our production.

This film project will be marketed under a different brand name, so please stay tuned for future updates!
