IM;%.RC^ 1930 ^^^ \. This picture was made with ordinary film. Note that blue reproduces lighter than red. Tim is i! /'i!Hi'/iriiiiiiitic Film picture. Note the fidelity in color value reproduction. What is the Difference Between Regular and Panchromatic Cine-Kodak Safety Film? The Pictures Above Tell . . , Values Never Before Possible NOTE the two pictures shown above. Both were taken with the same camera, within a few seconds of each other. No need to study them. . . the vastly superior black and white reproduction of the natural color values in the picture on the right is apparent at a glance. Here, then, is the difference between the pictures that ordinary film gives you and the kind you prefer. . . the kind you get with Panchromatic Film. Why "Pati" Gives Better Quality Movies The chart at the lower right shows the colored light that may be reflected from a subject, and that, after passing through the lens, falls on the film. Ordinary film is mainly sensitive to violet and blue light only; very slightly sensitive to yellow and green, and practically not at all sensitive to red. Thus, when you take a picture with ordinary film, violet and blue are the only reflected colored lights that make appreciable impressions on the film. Other colors, to which the film is not sensitive, make no impressions, and, therefore, show as black on the screen. The results with "Pan" are very different. When you take a picture with "Pan," you get correct color values, in varying shades 164 ''PAN'' Brings Out Color in Black and JVhite Pictures of gray, for "Pan" is sensitive to all colored light. Not only the violet and blue, but red, green, orange, yellow and all other colored light is correctly recorded. The twin pictures tell the story. The one on the left was made with ordinary film. It shows navy blue as a dark color. Naturally, you expect to see red reproduced as a lighter shade of gray. But it appears even darker than navy blue. Now, look at the picture made with "Pan." Note the difference in color value reproduction. Navy blue appears dark; red, a medium gray; yellow, a vivid, light gray. That explains Cine-Kodak Panchromatic Film. . . it reprociuces, in their correct black and white relationship, all the colors of natural light. . . it gives you the utmost in black and white photography. RANGE OF PANCHROMATIC FILM Beauty Heretofore Impossible "Pan" opens up a new black and white picture-taking field for your enjoyment. The subtle shadings of skin, hair and eyes in portrait work, the interesting contrasts of foliage in landscape photography, magnificent shadow effects in cloud pictures. . . all are yours with "Pan." "Pan" is just as easy to use as regular Cine-Kodak Film. Except for portraiture, the Cine-Kodak Color Filter is recommended for general use with Cine-Kodak Panchromatic Film. In a word, "Pan" gives movies a new realism, a new beauty. Cine-Kodak Panchromatic Film is priced at I7.50 per 100-foot roll, IS4.00 per 50-foot roll. The Color Filter for the Cine-Kodak, Model B or BB,/.i.9, is priced at $2.50; for the Model B or BB,/.3.5, or Model B, /.6.5, 1 1. 50.
