Testing Your Film Chemistry: The Art of the Snip Test  @CineStillFilm
Uploaded November 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago
The snip test is one of the best ways to see if your photographic chemistry is still working properly. This helps you know if the chemistry you have will work properly and not ruin your images before you put your precious rolls into a development tank. @linusandhiscamera and Andre take you through how to perform a snip test for black & white, color negative, and E-6 chemistries. Check the timestamps below to skip to the respective processes.
