Category: 35mm Film

The Film Photography Project Svema Foto Black & White Film is a high-speed 35mm film designed for both outdoor and indoor photography.

Image Quality

This film features a unique emulsion that provides excellent image quality. It's a panchromatic film, meaning it can capture a wide range of colors in black and white, making it great for landscapes and scenes with varied lighting. You'll appreciate its good separation of green shades and high contrast, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

Handling and Processing

The Svema Foto 400 film is hand-rolled, ensuring freshness and quality. It has a thin polyester base, which means it dries flat and is easy to handle. When loading or unloading the film, be sure to do so in subdued light to prevent light leaks. For best results, store your film in a light-tight bag and keep it in a dark camera bag before and after shooting.

Development Tips

You can process this film yourself or send it out for development. For home processing, Leslie Lazenby recommends using Xtol stock for seven minutes at 68 degrees Fahrenheit, with agitation every minute. Alternatively, you can follow Michael Raso's method using Kodak D-76 for six minutes at the same temperature.

Lily X. ★★★★★

The mid-range contrast on this ISO 400 emulsion gave my street shots a classic, grainy look that I haven't gotten from other budget films. It's noticeably softer than the modern stuff, but that's exactly what I wanted for my indoor portraits.

Matthew ★★★★★

Pushed this roll to 1600 for some night street shots and the grain came out gorgeous, almost painterly in the shadows. It's an ISO 400 film but handles low light way better than I expected.

Sophia ★★★★★

The grainy contrast on this ISO 400 roll gave my outdoor portraits a moody, classic look straight out of the camera. The emulsion handled the midtones really well, even with overcast light.
