Extremely smooth fine grain, totally flexible mystery soup. Shadow detail that dumbfounded folks, and which made those great long scale shots in smoky jazz clubs possible, without ever burning out a highlight.

777 Fine Grain Developer

Every now and again a FilmDev user will add a new recipe with a film or developer that’s not in the FilmDev database.

At this point I usually log in and add the information - a simple process; Lomography have a new film out or I didn’t realise Tri-X came in 320 speed (oops!).

Sometimes though I need to use a little detective work to track down the information I need (the manufacturer and available speeds etc).

Such was the case with Defender 777.  Turns out it’s not been sold in years* quite hard to track down yet somehow someone has got hold of some, developed some film with it and now added the details to FilmDev.

I get a warm happy feeling whenever anyone adds a recipe to FilmDev but I get an especially warm one when something like this happens.

* Thanks to Hattipop for pointing out that 777 is still for sale.
