TECHNICAL DATA / BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM
KODAK WL Surveillance Film / 2210
KODAK WL Surveillance Film / 2210 is a high-speed,
STORAGE AND HANDLING
black-and-white negative camera film with extremely fine
grain and high resolving power, allowing a high degree of
enlargement. It is especially useful for dimly lit subjects
exposed in daylight or artificial light.
This 400-speed film has a wide exposure latitude, which
allows quality prints from moderately under- (EI 800) or
overexposed (EI 150) negatives. You can expose this film at
speeds up to EI 3200 with push processing in KODAK
PROFESSIONAL T-MAX Developers.
KODAK WL Surveillance Film / 2210 is formatted on
ESTAR-AH base, a tough, dimensionally stable polyester
support with an optical density of 0.10 for protection against
light-piping. A fast-drying backing allows processing in
high-speed processors.
Keep unexposed film and processed film in a cool, dry place.
Process film as soon as possible after exposure.
To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been
refrigerated, allow 16 mm film to stand at room temperature
for at least 1 to 1.5 hours before removal from the package;
for 35 mm film, allow 2 to 3 hours and for 70 mm film, 4 to
5 hours.
Load and unload camera in subdued light. Process
exposed film promptly after exposure. Always protect
processed negatives from strong light and store in a cool, dry
place.

Note: Fixer may exhaust more rapidly with this film than
with other films. Use fresh fixer. If negatives show a magenta
(pink) stain after fixing, the fixer may be near exhaustion or
a longer fix time is needed. If the stain is slight, it will have
no printing effect. If it is pronounced and irregular over the
film surface, refix the film in fresh fixer. Another way to
remove the dye stain is to bathe the film in KODAK Hypo
Clearing Agent for 2 minutes at 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C) and
follow with a 5 minute wash.

Push Processing
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Push-processing allows film to be exposed at higher
exposure indices. However, it does not produce optimum
quality. Prints show a slight loss of shadow detail and
increase in graininess.
The processing times to produce a CI of 0.74 for 2-stop
push-processing are given in the following tables. Use these
percentages for development not covered by the following
tables:
Dimensional stability is an all-inclusive term. In
photography, it applies to size changes caused by changes in
humidity and in temperature, and by processing and aging.
The absence of solvent in ESTAR Base is one of the reasons
why ESTAR Base films show excellent dimensional
stability. The dimensional properties of ESTAR Base may
vary slightly in different directions within a sheet; the
differences that may exist, however, are not always equal in
both the length and width directions.
