Having matured in the dark for nearly two decades, this low-speed studio treasure offers a beautifully delicate, nostalgic aesthetic for fine-art film shooters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Highlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eThe Legendary \"NC\" Colour Science:\u003c\/b\u003e Unlike the punchy, saturated consumer films of the era, 160NC was chemically tuned for \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"121\" data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eNatural Colour\u003c\/b\u003e. It intentionally delivers low contrast, soft colour saturation, and exceptionally smooth tonal transitions.
