Panchromatic Film Was Made: Aside, from these uses with panchromatic materials, the A Filter is commonly employed in combination with Kodak Infrared Film for special and unusual effects. This use is described in the chapter, Selecting Tour Film; and several typical infrared pictures are shown in this volume.
As late as 1905 a landscape taken with "the deepest ray filter" showing massive white clouds against "a sky as seemingly black as that of midnight" was criticized as false, and the amateur who sent it to Camera Craft magazine was advised to try to correct the distortion in printing the negative. When commercial large-scale production of panchromatic film was made possible in the 1920s, through the use of newly discovered dyes, the new emulsion soon came to be universally used.
Speedlights flash, the picture is taken, the film automatically advances, the shutter is cocked, and all is in readiness for the next child in the line. Similar cameras are available which operate with 35mm film. The smaller film cuts costs a bit but naturally the contact prints are not so appealing as those from the larger film.
