ETERNA V160T ECN-2 – Fujifilm Tungsten Motion Picture Film (135/36)

ETERNA V160T ECN-2 Fujifilm Tungsten Motion Picture Film

ETERNA V160T is a rare tungsten-balanced motion picture film originally produced by Fujifilm for professional cinema production and now prepared for 35mm still photography.

Rated at ISO 160 and balanced for 3200K tungsten light, this film is made for photographers who want a soft, cinematic, and slightly dreamy look. It delivers gentle contrast, natural skin tones, rich shadows, smooth highlight transitions, and a nostalgic film-still atmosphere.

This is not a loud, ultra-saturated film. ETERNA V160T is more subtle. It works beautifully when you want mood, softness, atmosphere, and a cinematic feeling that does not scream. Think night streets, indoor light, neon signs, portraits, lamps, bars, backstage moments, and quiet scenes that feel like they belong in a movie.

Because this is a tungsten-balanced film, it performs best under artificial tungsten light. When shooting in daylight, an 85B filter is recommended, or color correction can be applied during scanning.

Dreamy Tungsten Cinema Look

ETERNA V160T is all about soft cinematic atmosphere.

You can expect:

• Tungsten-balanced color response
• ISO 160 sensitivity
• Soft contrast
• Natural skin tones
• Rich shadow detail
• Smooth highlight transitions
• Dreamy cinematic color palette
• Subtle color shifts
• Nostalgic motion picture feeling

This film is a beautiful choice for photographers who want a softer and more poetic cinema look instead of aggressive contrast or heavy saturation.

ECN-2 Processing Required

ETERNA V160T includes a remjet layer and requires ECN-2 processing.

ECN-2 is the correct development process for motion picture film. It helps preserve the film’s cinematic character, including smoother highlights, stronger shadow retention, and more natural tonal transitions.

This film should not be treated like normal C41 consumer color film. For the best result, bring it to a lab that offers ECN-2 processing, like Berlin Photo Studio.
