Ilford is one of the biggest names in film photography and produce some of the most iconic and beloved stocks on the market today.
Ilford Pan 400 is not one of them. Instead, it’s a budget offering that’s only available in selected markets around the world. Selected markets that don’t include the US and the UK.
So depending on where you are, you might not get this in your local film shop. Should you still track some down and shoot it though? Come find out in this review.
Agfa Vista Plus 200, perennial favourite of many a budget-conscious film shooter, is no more. Production has ended and stocks are dwindling.
So if you find some, should you hoard it while you still can? With its famous low cost, you may think the answer to that is a no-brainer. Not so fast, though.
As supplies run low, prices rise, and the question of whether it’s still worth buying is not so clear cut. I can’t tell you what to do, but I can give some thoughts in this review. Come read.
Kodak ColorPlus 200 is one of the cheapest colour films you can buy today. That alone should make it an interesting proposition to a lot of shooters – but only if it’s any good, of course.
I can tell you that it is. In relation to its cost, anyway. I can also tell you what results you can expect, why I like it for street photography, and its history and past incarnations.
But that’s all too long for this intro so you’ll have to come read the review to get that. Come on. Come learn.
Fujicolor Industrial 100 isn’t the easiest film to track down outside of Asia, and even in its native Japan you might find yourself having to buy in bulk.
The question is, is it worth doing either? You can find out in this review, which features the backstory, overview of image qualities, some technical specifications, and a fair few real world example shots.
Come have a read and learn all about this oft-unheralded film with the curious name and a distinctly minimalist white and green box.
No doubt there are plenty of ISO 400 monochrome films to choose from. Have you shot Rollei Retro 400S though?
If not, I think you should. I filled a roll with a few sessions of street photography and cannot complain with how it came out.
The film promises high contrast, fine grain, and good sharpness. How high, fine and good did I get, though? Come learn more in this review.
