5 "New" Films To Try This Summer
From Reto Project's new offerings to Dubblefilm's pre-exposed GLITCH, there are so many new creative options to play with...
2022 was a great year for new films, some repackaged and some new emulsions announced. So has 2023 followed suit?
So far this year, we have seen the long-awaited delivery of Orwo’s new emulsion, Wolfen NC500. I think Orwo also created NC400 and maybe one other film but their lack of clarity and mixed messages confused the heck out of me.
I tried to make sense of it in this video here:
That’s one new film. What else?
For new emulsions, I haven’t seen another color one yet but for black and white, Fompan recently brought out a new orthochromatic 400 ISO film in medium format, which is exciting for those ortho-loving photographers like me!
If you follow Lomography on Instagram, they put out a call for testers of a new film so we may see something from them in the near future…
Please let me know if you have seen anything else! I try to stay on top of it all but there are things that slip by.
While that seems to be it for now on new emulsions, there have been a bunch of companies continuing to repackage non consumer films into 35mm rolls.
These are the ones I’m trying now so let’s chat about them!
