Glow 400

A 400 speed film called Glow. Warm, faded, and low contrast. RETO’s warm half of the Aqua and Glow pair.

How it behaves

RETO’s warm-toned half of the Aqua and Glow pair. A faded, low-contrast film with a mild warm hue and chunky grain, aimed at a vintage, cinematic urban look. Shoot at 400 and watch what comes back. Night scenes might suit the name, and street and urban scenes are its documented home. Keep expectations open. It comes as a 27-exposure 35mm roll in a DX-coded canister and develops in standard C-41 at most labs. One retailer notes the film is adapted by hand, so light leaks or color effects can appear, especially on the first couple of frames. A retailer data sheet lists latitude of +2/-1 stops. The base emulsion is undisclosed.
