This 15oz ceramic mug is a tribute to the 35mm Kodak Tech Pan film cassette. A lot (I mean, A LOT) of people asked for this one, so I found a reference cassette to photograph so I could replicate it as closely as possible.

Kodak Technical Pan 2415 was one of the most unique and revered black-and-white films ever made — introduced for scientific and aerial mapping purposes rather than traditional photography, yet later adopted by fine-art photographers for its extreme capabilities.
Released by Kodak in the 1970s, Tech Pan was a **slow-speed, ultra-high-resolution** film with an incredibly fine grain structure — capable of resolving detail far beyond standard photographic film. Rated natively around ISO 25 (or even lower when developed for maximum sharpness), it offered razor-sharp definitions, near-grainless tones, and a deep extended **red sensitivity**, making it famous for dramatic skies, glowing skin, and surreal infrared-like landscapes when filtered.
Unlike normal films, its look depended heavily on chemistry: in standard high-contrast developers it produced scientific-style, near-binary contrast — but in specialized developers like Technidol, it delivered long, smooth tonal gradations that portrait and landscape shooters adored.
Discontinued in the early 2000s, Kodak Technical Pan remains legendary — a film with **unmatched detail, almost clinical precision, and the ability to transform light into something ethereal**, still sought after today by experimental and archival photographers.
