The ISO 100 black and white film offers excellent value for money and is ideal for a wide range of photographic applications. Its fine grain and solid sharpness make it a versatile choice for portraits, landscapes, and still life photography. Thanks to its moderate contrast and good tonal range, it delivers atmospheric results with natural detail reproduction.
Flexibility Through Push Processing
Although the film is standardly rated at ISO 100, push processing to ISO 200 allows for more flexible use under varying lighting conditions. This ensures usability even in less-than-ideal lighting without significant quality loss.
Comparison with Premium Films
While this film provides solid resolution and sharpness, it falls behind high-end films like Ilford FP4+, Ilford Delta 100, ADOX CHS 100 II, Fujifilm Neopan Acros II, and Kodak T-Max 100 in terms of fine grain and anti-halation protection. Nevertheless, it is an excellent choice for budget-conscious photographers looking for a reliable, all-purpose black and white film with a classic aesthetic.
Ideal for beginners in analog photography as well as experimental photographers who need a dependable and flexible film for various subjects and lighting conditions.
