FPP Low ISO Color 35mm Film (ISO 1.6) — an experimental film stock for long-exposure travel landscapes
The gist: An ultra-low-speed color negative film (ISO 1.6) originally built for lab duplicating work, now repurposed by travel and landscape shooters for its unusual blue-and-cyan color shift and long-exposure daylight capability.
- Ultra-low ISO 1.6: Forces long exposures even in bright daylight, which is exactly what creates dreamy water and cloud motion in landscape shots.
- Distinctive color palette: Shifts toward blue and cyan tones rather than standard color-negative rendering, giving travel landscape shots a genuinely different look.
- Standard C-41 processing: No special rem-jet removal needed — any lab that processes C-41 color film, including The Darkroom, can develop it.
- Manual ISO workaround required: Most cameras can't dial down to ISO 1.6 directly, so it takes setting ISO 25 and manually compensating four stops.
Photographer Lorraine Healy, writing for EMULSIVE, shot it on a Minolta X-700 and found the stock "introduces some interesting color shifts, tending to the blue/cyan end of the spectrum," specifically praising turquoise-toned water shots as her favorites from the roll.
Best for: travelers photographing waterfalls, coastlines, or slow-moving water who want a distinctive color palette and don't mind bringing a tripod. Skip it if: you want a simple point-and-shoot travel film — Healy needed a tripod, cable release, and manual metering workaround to get usable exposures.
