Push 800 – Black & White Film 135/36

Push 800 Film for Low Light and High Contrast

Push 800 Film is a high-energy black and white 35mm film made for photographers who want contrast, grain, movement, and atmosphere.

Rated at ISO 800, this film is designed for situations where slower films start to struggle. It works well in low light, overcast weather, interiors, concerts, night scenes, flash photography, and fast street situations where you need more speed and more character.

Push 800 is not a quiet film. It gives you pronounced grain, punchy contrast, deep blacks, strong highlights, and clear separation between light and shadow. This makes it perfect for photographers who want a raw documentary feeling instead of clean perfection.

It is built for movement, mood, and bold storytelling. If Softgrain 100 is calm and clean, Push 800 is rougher, louder, and more alive.
