Ilford Delta 400 is a medium-speed, relatively fine-grained medium-contrast black-and-white film.
Lomography Fantôme Kino 8 is a low-ISO black-and-white motion picture film sold in 35mm only. This film shows exceptionally fine grain, which it typically renders in high contrast. I was able to get very natural-looking images out of it when I developed it at home with my solution of Rodinal 1+50. This film has also taught me things I’ve never expected about my old Ultron lens.
This film is an excellent value for the money: it has a wide dynamic range, renders fine grain, and is available in bulk. But it needs a thoughtful process for the best results.
Kodak UltraMax 400 is a medium-speed, fine-grained colour-negative film. It renders natural tones cheaper than Portra and much more accurately than most new emulsions. UltraMax may even be the most affordable ISO 400 colour film on the market.
Ilford XP2 Super 400 is a monochrome film like no other. If you fancy shooting black-and-white film but got no means to develop at home, this is the one to use.

Film Ferrania’s Orto 50 is a newly reissued (2023)¹ orthochromatic black-and-white film by the famous Italian film factory. It features fine grain, high contrast, and blue light sensitivity (which makes it blind to the red colours). Orto 50 shares its fine grain, strong contrast, and some development times with Film Ferrania’s first product, P30 — but it’s not the same film.
A fine-grained medium contrast colour-negative film with a clear base, available in 35mm only.
A high-speed, ultra-fine-grained tungsten-balanced colour film. This in-depth review includes loads of samples, detailed specifications (including pushing and pulling), advanced shooting tips, and the disambiguation of the recent controversy.
Polaroid Go instant film packs include two perfectly miniaturized Polaroid I-Type/600 film cartridges — with the emulsion and frame materials faithfully replicated. They’re smaller (which makes them cheaper) but the choice of cameras that can take advantage of this format is limited.

In this review, I share numerous samples made with this film (along with a downloadable high-res scan), explain its origins, cover technical aspects, and give a few exposure tips.
