ECN-2 Water Melon 50 ISO – 135/36 Film Roll

Water Melon 50 ISO – Limited Summer ECN-2 Film

Water Melon 50 is a limited-edition 35mm colour film made for bright days, spontaneous trips and the small moments that make summer feel endless.

Based on Fujifilm 250D 8553 motion-picture film and offered at ISO 50, this roll is designed to be photographed when light is generous: sunny streets, beaches, parks, outdoor portraits, festivals, road trips and long afternoons with friends.

Water Melon 50 brings the feeling of cinema into an everyday camera. It is not a film for chasing technical perfection. It is a film for carrying with you, following the light and turning ordinary summer scenes into something worth remembering.

A Film Made for Summer Light

Shoot Water Melon 50 at ISO 50 in bright daylight. Its slower working speed makes it best suited to outdoor situations with plenty of available light.

Recommended for:

• Summer travel and holidays
• Outdoor portraits
• Beach, lake and park days
• Bright street photography
• Festivals and daytime events
• Landscapes and colourful urban scenes
• Everyday cinematic storytelling

For darker interiors, evenings or night photography, choose a faster film or use a flash, tripod or wide-aperture lens.

Fujifilm Motion-Picture Film in 35mm

Water Melon 50 is based on Fujifilm 250D 8553, a daylight motion-picture film adapted here for still photography. Each 135 cartridge is hand-loaded by Berlin Photo Studio and contains 36 exposures.

As with repurposed motion-picture film, the final colour, contrast and grain can be influenced by exposure, lighting, storage, development and scanning. This natural variation is part of the character of the film rather than a defect.

ECN-2 Development

This film is intended for the ECN-2 process. For the expected cinematic result, select ECN-2 development and inform your laboratory that the roll contains motion-picture film.

You can bring or send the exposed roll to Berlin Photo Studio for ECN-2 development and high-resolution scanning in Berlin.
