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 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 light color. Naturally, you expect to see yellow and red reproduced as lighter shades of gray. But they appear 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 reproduces, in their correct black and white relationship, all the colors of natural light ... it gives you the utmost in black and white photography.
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."
Daylight loading, "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," like regular Cine'-Kodak Film, gets the picture, but gives it a new realism, a new beauty, a new quality that you will appreciate.
