📸 Just in from Ukraine! 🇺🇦

We just got a fresh batch of Svema 200 Black & White Film (rolled by FPP) here at Spartan Photo Center! 🎞️ This unique 35mm film has a few awesome tricks up its sleeve for film photography enthusiasts:

Extended Red Range: It’s a panchromatic film with an extended red sensitivity. Pop an R72 or deep red filter on your lens, and you’ll get some incredible, surreal near-infrared effects!
Thinner Base: It features an extra-thin polyester base, which gives it a distinct feel and character when you're working with it in the darkroom.
Versatile: Shot normally under standard conditions, it delivers beautiful, classic black and white imagery.
⚠️ Pro-Tip for Handling: Because of its unique build, this film is prone to "light piping" (where light can bleed down the length of the film roll). To avoid any unwanted flaring or exposure issues between frames, make sure to load and unload your camera in dim light or partial darkness—not direct, bright sunlight!

Are you ready to experiment with some infrared style shots? Drop by the shop or check us out to grab a roll before your next adventure! 👇
