Mitsubishi B&W film

[pshinkaw]

I just received some Mitsubishi 400+ B&W film from Porters. The box is marked as being packaged in Europe, and the plastic film canister looks identical to those supplied with Efke fims. The film has a very light (gray) base, just like Efke and Forte films. It comes in 24 exposure rolls, the cassette appears to be reloadable and it costs $2.09 a roll.

Anyone have any experience with this label?

That's not a bad price, especially for reloadable cassettes if you wish to do that too. Please let us know how it turns out.

It's rebadged Efke film. My experience with the last batch of it that I used wasn't so great... But then, it might have been a leftover or reject from the QA process (I purchased it direct from factory).

Other than that, treat it like other Efke stuff. But, if it's 400 ASA, then it should be the same as HP5+

Mitsubishi, LOL.
Yeah, and my friend bought an Agfa bycicle, and I've had Pizza Minolta for lunch😀

Pherdi, I bought a relatively cheap roll of Mitsubishi film in St. Louis, Missouri, two years ago, when I went there for a conference. The film wasn't bad (then, how bad can a ISO200 film be): discrete colors, nothing oversaturated and just plain fine.

Now, gotta go brew some more of that Hasselblad coffee.

I shot a roll of this Mitsubishi 400 B&W, developed it in D-76.

The edge markings have a notation that says UP+. Could that be the same as Macophot UP+ 400?

Negative was a little thinner and lower contrast then I would get from Fuji Neopan or Tri-X and most of my cameras, but I shot it with a Kiev-4a and a Helios 103 lens so it may have balanced off the higher contrast of the Helios lens. It was a actually a perfectly normal negative, just different from the other films.
