Frequently Asked Questions
Our new paper tube boxes are made of solid and thick carton, which provides a sufficient isolation to store your film in a dry place without any risk for the emulsion. If you plan to store the film for a long period of time or live in a humide environment, we recommend placing it in a ziplock bag inside the fridge. Make sure the bag is perfectly dry inside and well sealed.
ATM400 develops like any other black and white negative film. You can find below the times and dillutions for most common developer.
For other developers and pushing/pulling processing, we recommend following the chart of Ilford HP5+. More information on the Massive Dev Chart.
⚠️ When handing over your rolls to a lab, make sure to mention that we use recycled film canisters if they process black and white film in machines.
If you’re home developing, there’s always a learning curve when putting a new film inside the tank. To help you getting the best out of MTN100, we’ve compiled a list of known development recipes that should give you a great place to start for properly exposed images. From here we encourage you to play with development times, dilutions, agitations, pushing or pulling until you find the perfect combination to reveal your vision.

Yes you can! We recommend pushing ATM400 up to one stop (ISO 800). Beyond, contrast might increase too much and risk of loosing shadow details.
No, at the moment we use recycled film canisters so our film doesn’t come with DX code. When shooting ATM400 with point and shoot camera, if you can’t set the ISO manually the camera will most likely expose it at 100. You can either add +2 stops using the Exposure Compensation feature, or pull the film during development. Please note that pulling film may decrease contrast.
