Mixtape Pan 86
Kodak Tri-X Pan 400 · 1986 batch
🎞 Self-developing referenceFilm Background
Mixtape Pan 86 is a vintage Kodak Tri-X Pan 400 black-and-white negative film, manufactured in 1986 and respooled for a second life behind your lens. With nearly four decades of age, it delivers bold grain, deep contrast, and unpredictable beauty. Though officially rated at ISO 400, we recommend exposing it at ISO 200–250 to compensate for sensitivity loss over time. Perfect for creative experimentation and lovers of analog texture, this film thrives in classic developers and reveals its character with every frame.
