Choose film with your eyes.
Real photographs from real rolls—selected one film at a time by Berlin Photo Studio. Compare grain, colour, contrast and atmosphere before deciding what to shoot.
Not a preset. Not a promise.
Film is an ingredient.
The camera, lens, exposure, light, development and scan all shape the result. These photographs are a compass—not a rigid recipe.

FAQ
Film samples, simply explained.
What is this Film Samples page for?
It helps you compare real analogue photographs before choosing a film roll. Look at grain, contrast, colour and atmosphere, then choose what fits your project.
Can I compare black-and-white and colour films?
Yes. Use the filters above to view all photographs, black-and-white stocks, colour and cinematic stocks, or reversal films.
Why can the same film look different?
Camera, lens, exposure, light, development and scanning all affect the final photograph. Film is an ingredient; the result depends on how it is used.
Will more film rolls be added?
Yes. This is one growing archive. Films that are not listed yet will be added here without creating another competing sample page.
Can Berlin Photo Studio develop these films?
Yes. We develop and scan black-and-white, C-41, ECN-2 and E-6 film in Berlin, including mail-in orders.
