Offbeat features off-center color with greens leaning toward emerald and cyan, providing vivid yet everyday-useful results. Bebop delivers refined, cinematic tones with elegant depth and subtle shifts, suited for portraits and architecture. All three films are available from Kono's website at €17.90 per 36-exposure roll.
