3. BLACK-AND-WHITE FILMS 3-1. FILMS FOR BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY Black-and-white negative films are used for the production of blackand-white prints. These films can be processed in the many conventional black-and-white negative film developers presently available. By using different developer type and development condition (time and/or temperature) combinations, the film speed, contrast and granularity can be varied to a considerable extent. NEOPAN Professional films are marketed by the Fuji Photo Film Company.
