 |  |  | film speed: Encyclopedia II - DX encoding - Electrical contactsOn 35mm film canisters there are two rows of six rectangular areas, the two left-most areas (with the spool post on the left) are both common-ground and are thus always bare metal. The remaining 5 bits in the top row represent 32 possible film speeds. But there are only 24 speeds representing the 1/3 "stops" from 25 ISO to 5000 ISO.
In the second row, the first 3 bits represent 8 possible film lengths, although in practice only 12, 20, 24 and 36 exposures are encoded. The remaining 2 bits of the second row give 4 ranges of film tolerance, or latitude, in ±f-stops. ...

 |  |  | film speed: Encyclopedia II - Film stock - Classification and propertiesThere are several variables in classifying stocks; in practice, one orders raw stock by a code number, based on desired sensitivity to light.
A piece of film consists of a light-sensitive emulsion applied to a tough, transparent base, attached to anti-halation backing. Originally the highly flammable cellulose nitrate, was used. In the 1930s, film manufacturers introduced "safety film" with a cellulose triacetate plastic base. All amateur film stocks were safety film, but the use of nitrate persisted for professional releases. Kodak d ...
