TECHNICAL INFORMATION

ISO 50/18° BLACK AND WHITE PROFESSIONAL FILM FOR

HIGH PRINT QUALITY AND FLEXIBILITY IN USE

ILFORD PAN F Plus

is an extremely fine grain black and white film. It has outstanding resolution, sharpness

and edge contrast. These characteristics make it the natural choice where fine detail and lack of grain are more
important than film speed. Mural size enlargements from PAN F Plus negatives show an outstanding range of

tone and detail when the film is carefully exposed and processed.

PAN F Plus is compatible with all major processing systems, including those which give the standard short fixing
and washing times.


PAN F Plus 35mm film is coated on 0.125mm/5-mil acetate base and is available in 36 exposure cassettes, or

in bulk lengths of 17 and 30.5 metres (55 and 100ft). PAN F Plus 35mm film is supplied in DX coded cassettes,
suitable for all 35mm cameras.


PAN F Plus roll film is coated on 0.110mm/4-mil clear acetate base with an anti-halation backing which clears

during development. It is available in120 lengths and is edge numbered 1 to 19.

EXPOSURE RATING

PAN F Plus has a speed rating of ISO 50/18

°

(50ASA, 18DIN, EI 50/18

°

) to daylight. The ISO speed rating

was measured using ILFORD ID-11 developer at 20

°

C/68°F with intermittent agitation in a spiral tank.


Best results are obtained at EI 50/18

°

, but good image quality will also be obtained when PAN F Plus is

exposed at EI 25/15

°

.

It should be noted that the exposure index (EI) range recommended for PAN F Plus is based on a practical
evaluation of film speed and is not based on foot speed, as is the ISO standard.

Important Note:

Once exposed, process PAN F Plus as soon as practical – we recommend within 3 months.
