Focus Nordic adds Candido Collective to its film range
Candido filmFocus Nordic is pleased to begin distributing Candido Collective's full range of 35mm colour negative film across its markets.
Candido Collective is a film brand built around a simple idea: make 35mm colour negative film that is easy to buy, easy to shoot, and easy to develop at any normal lab. The range consists of three films: Candido 200, Candido 400 and Candido 800, all supplied as 36-exposure rolls in DX-coded steel canisters with UPC on the box.
Film base and processing
Candido films are made from Kodak Vision3 motion picture stock with the remjet backing removed before spooling. Because the remjet layer is already gone, the films can be developed using standard C-41 processing at any normal photo lab, with no special handling required.
Removing the remjet also affects the look of the image. Without the anti-halation backing, bright highlights can produce a visible glow, particularly noticeable around point light sources. This is a characteristic shared with other cinema-stock-based still films such as CineStill.
The range covers ISO 200, 400, and 800, all in 35mm/36 exposures and all C-41 process. Candido 200 is the fine-grain option for bright daylight, with a soft colour palette. Candido 400 is the daylight-balanced all-rounder for outdoor and mixed-light situations, with smooth contrast and enough speed to handle movement. Candido 800 is tungsten-balanced and made for low light, indoors, and night shooting, with more visible grain and punchy colour. Between the three, the range covers everything from full sun to available darkness.
"Candido fills a clear spot in our film range. It gives retailers a straightforward three-speed lineup on a cinema stock base, and the fact that it runs through standard C-41 without any remjet issues makes it easy to recommend," says Rebecca Laanemets, Product Manager at Focus Nordic.
Candido Film are available for immediate shipping from Focus Nordic now.
