It's not monochrome, it's a C41 color film, like the Rollei CN400 is but designed to make B&W prints from it. A color RA-4 print is an extra option.

 

Finer grained than the prototype CN400 was:

Some CN400 (C41) pro conversion examples:

Well from the CN400 pro you can see our results, it's a more difficult film for filtering out when making RA-4 prints. Scanning on a flatbed is pretty easy. A classical split grade B&W print is pretty easy with this Rollei film.

 

About the Digibase CN200 pro, I do not know yet. I have to test it out. Including my own C41 mononegacolor development and a minilab C41 development.

Thanks for posting these Peter, this film is on my (long) list to try.

The results look very much like Kodacolor II 400 from the 1980's I'm a fan of the grain the and slightly subdued colour palette you seem to get with this film.

I think this would make a great 1970's retro film

The film has characteristics like the Ultra serie's from Agfa (high saturation) which is not so strange because the production is done by Gevaert (Agfa's R&D lab) in Mortsel, Belgium.

 

Interesting you should say that Robert, I remember the 'Triade' Ultra-Optima-Portrait

series quite well, didn't use much Ultra, used a ton of Portrait 160 (loved the pear drops smell of the 120 backing paper) as my standard wedding film 1991-95

Is this film high saturation though? From the posted examples it looks a little low on saturation (could be a number of reasons) and to be quite grainy compared to say Fuji NHG

Anyhow I ordered some rolls this evening to have a play, and will write up on the blog.

Regards

Mark
