ORWO Negative Film N 74 plus

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
ORWO Negative Film N 74 plus
Product description: ORWO Negative Film N 74 plus is a high speed black-and-white
panchromatic camera film for both outdoor and indoor usage. Its wide exposure latitude
makes it especially suitable for use under low light illumination and difficult light conditions.
Applications include documentary films, news coverage, underwater and industrial
cinematography. Use of N 74 plus is also recommended under normal light conditions when
greater depth of field is needed.
The N 74 plus is a marked advance over its predecessor, thanks to improved slippage,
extremely low shedding and excellent antistatic qualities.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
ORWO Negative Film N 74 plus
Exposure index: ISO 400 / 27°
The speed value refers to a developed N 74 plus average gradient of 0.65. The exact exposure
index
depends
on
the
prevailing
shooting
and
processing
conditions.
Special feature of light meters, shooting conditions, planned artistic effects and deliberate
processing changes are to be taken into account in setting the lens aperture.
Rehearsal screen tests are recommended
Processing: According to ORWO instruction 1182 (D96) to a recommended average gradient
of 0,65.
RMS-Granularity: ≤ 16 ( read at a net visual diffuse density of 1,0 above the minimum
density using a 48 µm aperture)
≥ 0,80
