BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM
K OD AK WL Surveillance Film / 2210
May 2004 • TI-1838
KODAK WL Surveillance Film / 2210 is a high-speed,
black-and-white negative camera f ilm 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 fi lm 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.
IMAGE STRUCTURE
Based on develo pment in K OD AK De veloper D-76, at 20°C
(68°F).
Diffuse RMS Granularity: 10 (Extremely Fine)
Read at a net diffuse visual density of 1.0, 48 micrometre
aperture.
Resolving Power:
ISO-RPL TOC 1.6:1 50 line pairs/mm
ISO-RP TOC 1000:1 125 line pairs/mm High
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Keep unexposed film and processed f ilm 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.

PROCESSING
Notice: Observe precautionary information on product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets.
Tank development times shorter than 5 minutes may result in unsatisfactory uniformity. Do not develo p this film by
inspection—KODAK WL Surveillance Film has a higher level of green sensitizing dye that results in an increased sensitivity to
safelight illumination.
These times are starting-point recommendations. Make tests to determine the best development time.

Using T-MAX Developer diluted 1:9 provides good processing control, slightly more speed, no change in contrast or grain, and a larger capacity of film per
gallon of developer concentrate. To mix, dilute the working solution of T-MAX Developer with an equal part of water, or dilute the concentrate by mixing one
part of the concentrate with nine parts water (1:9).
