Kodak
The industry standard for portrait and wedding photography. Known for exceptionally fine grain, natural skin tones, and wide exposure latitude. Renders soft, warm colours with smooth highlight roll-off.
Kodak's consumer favourite. Delivers warm, saturated colours with a distinctly golden cast — especially in sunlit scenes. The quintessential film for holiday and street photos.
Kodak's versatile consumer film with punchy colours and moderate grain. Great in mixed lighting and a popular choice for everyday shooting.
World's finest grain colour negative film. Extremely vivid, saturated colours — landscapes, travel and architecture in bright light. Sometimes too punchy for portraits.
CineStill
Cinema-derived tungsten-balanced emulsion. Famous for its halation effect (glowing red halos around highlights) and moody blue-teal shadows. Perfect for night shooting and urban scenes.
Daylight-balanced cinema film with that signature CineStill glow. Fine grain for ISO 400, with a softer, dreamier palette than 800T. Great for golden-hour and outdoor portraiture.
Fujifilm
Discontinued but beloved. Exceptional for overexposed portraiture — renders delicate pastel greens and blues with beautiful highlight detail. A favourite among wedding photographers.
Fujifilm's consumer staple. Cool, greenish-blue tones with moderate saturation and fine grain. Crisp rendering that suits street and travel photography.
Ilford
The go-to black and white film for all-around shooting. Pushes beautifully to 1600 or 3200. Classic tonality with punchy midtones and controlled shadows.
Extreme speed, extreme grain, extreme atmosphere. The ultimate film for low-light concerts, documentary, and moody night photography. Grain is part of the aesthetic.
