Bluefire Police 135-24
35mm 24-exposure film.
Please note this film must be processed in your own darkroom using special chemistry, or by a photo lab such as Blue Moon which offers Bluefire processing. We recommend processing in Bluefire HR developer. Alternative developers include POTA, Formulary TD-3, Maco Supergrain, Clayton Extend-Plus, and Spur Nanospeed. However, all of these non-Bluefire developers require you to expose the film at between EI 6 and EI 20.

You can have this film processed by Frugal Photographer, or you can process it at home. Please e-mail for instructions.

Expose at EI 80 and process in Bluefire HR developing chemistry for ultra-sharp, grainless, continuous-tone images. Primarily for portraiture, landscapes, and art photography, but also an excellent technical film for copying old photographs, maps, drawings, or other documents, and for scientific and engineering documentation.

For making your own microfilm images, expose at EI 100 and process in Bluefire Micro or D-19.
