How to choose a film
- Format: 35mm (135) and 120 rolls are not interchangeable. Check which one your camera takes before you buy.
- Speed (ISO): ISO 100 and 200 suit bright daylight, while an ISO 400 film is the most flexible all-round choice. ISO 800 and 3200 help in dim light.
- Type: colour negative is forgiving and easy to scan, black and white has a classic look, and slide film (transparency) gives vivid colour but needs careful exposure.
- Exposures: 24 or 36 frames per roll. A 36-exposure roll goes further, a 24 is handy for trying a new stock.
Popular films to start with
For colour, Kodak Professional Portra 400 (35mm, 5-Pack) is a favourite for portraits, and the Fujifilm Superia CH 400 is an easy ISO 400 pick. For night looks, try the Cinestill 400 Dynamic. In black and white, the Ilford HP5 Plus ISO 400 is a classic.
