B&W 1600 – 135/36 High-Speed Black & White Film

B&W 1600 film is a high-speed black and white film designed for photographers who need strong performance in low-light environments. Based on classic cinematic black and white film stocks, B&W 1600 film is optimized to be shot at ISO 1600, delivering bold contrast, expressive grain, and a dramatic analog look.

If you enjoyed the B&W 800 film, the B&W 1600 film pushes the same character even further, offering stronger contrast and more visible grain for a raw and cinematic black and white result.
