A limited edition film with an iso of 6

Analog camera and film specialist Lomography has unveiled Kono Donau, a new 35mm film with an ISO rating of 6. You read that correctly.

This ultra-slow film joins a series of experimental and creative analog films from the company, which bills Kono Donau as ‘one of the highest resolutions ever found in a color negative film.’

And an hipstery blue tone to it. If I were to bother shooting an ISO 6 film for high resolution, I would bother about accurate color recognition...

"Aah, we'll just fix that in post."

Either that (via scan/digitisation) or put some sort of colour filter on it that will make things a stop or two slower than they already are! Imagine shooting at an effective ISO of between ONE and THREE, while the K-5 user standing next to you is blazing away at fifty-one thousand and some Sony shooters are pushing half a million.

ISO 6? Perfect for shooting on the surface of the sun or in the middle of a large explosion.

I have never used an ASA 6 film, but I have shot ASA 10 Kodachrome ...

This is good news, eight new "movie stock" films from Kono! started by a German and hand rolled in Austria.

6 ISO ultra slow Colour negative
100 ISO Orthochromatic B&W negative
100-200 ISO Experimental B&W negative
125 ISO Tungsten Colour negative
250 ISO Colour negative
400 ISO Tungsten Colour negative
400 ISO Colour negative
400 ISO Red/Yellow tinted Colour negative

Kono! - The Reanimated Film

New film is always good news, even if it's unusual stuff I wouldn't use. I would like to know where some of these came from - the 125T says it's based on motion picture stock.

Sounds interesting enough for me to try. Thanks for the heads up.

It's probably this Kodak Movie film from the 1980's, where they got it from is another question:

Kodak 5247 125T

Where does the ISO of six come from? Decay with time? The spec sheet rates it significantly faster.

No idea where the slow ISO 6 film is from, I'll see if I can find out.

The movie film from the 1980's is an ISO 125 Tungsten Colour negative:

KONO!-kolorit-125t

I'd love to experiment with this film for fun but not for the nearly $40 being asked for by Lomography. If they sold individual rolls or had a way to split packs among people then I'd pick one up.

I'm thinking Lomo doesn't want people buying one roll, getting bad results, and then discrediting the film.

At least this way they cleared out stock of 3 rolls instead of 1 while still getting rants on poor quality.

I'd be curious to see how this film works when exposed at ISO 1.

**gofour3** · 10-22-2015, 01:43 PM

Looks like the slow ISO 6 film is a Kodak Ektachrome slide duplicating film:

KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTACHROME Duplicating
Film EDUPE

I'm going to give this a shot.

If you're into super-gonzo low ISOs, Kodak 2383 shoots at ISO 1.6 (that's a 1.6-second exposure with the Sunny 16 rule) when developed using the same times for TMax 100. And it's grain is so fine that it's nearly impossible to find with a grain focuser.
