ADOX
[edit]The current rights to the historic ADOX name were obtained in 2003 by Fotoimpex of Berlin, Germany, a company founded in 1992 to import photographic films and papers from the former Eastern Bloc. ADOX (Fotoimpex) subsequently established a film factory in Bad Sarrow outside Berlin to convert and package films, papers and chemicals. In February 2015 they acquired use of the former Ilford Imaging (Ciba Geigy) machine E, medium scale coating line at Marly, Switzerland.[1][2] From 2017 to 2018 they doubled the size of the Bad Sarrow factory to be able to install film coating capability (still in progress in 2024) and medium scale photochemistry manufacture.[3][4]
The ADOX name traces back to the oldest photographic film manufacturer in the world, started in 1860 in Germany.[5] In the 1970s, Dupont the owners of the Adox brand sold the recipes and machinery of their B&W films to Fotokemika in Croatia who continued to produce the films under the Efke brand. The films were subsequently imported by Fotoimpex and sold as ADOX CHS Art thus re-uniting the ADOX name with the films. After Fotokemikas closure in 2012, ADOX CHS II was produced for ADOX using modern cascade coating and since then the range of products has been expanded.

[edit]Agfa-Gevaert is headquartered in Mortsel, Belgium and following the sale of its consumer films division (See AgfaPhoto), now only manufactures commercial films; 'Aviphot' for aerial photography and 'Copex' archival microfilms (since 2013 Copex films are branded 'Imagelink' for Eastman Park Micrographics[14]). Some of these films are however repackaged for consumer use by Maco under its Rollei brand and by Japan Camera Hunter, Silberra and ADOX.

AgfaPhoto
[edit]The Agfa consumer film division with its plant in Leverkusen, Germany was spun off by Agfa-Gevaert into a new company AgfaPhoto in 2004. At buy out the firm was split into a holding company Agfa-Photo Holding GMBH (licenses) and manufacturing company Agfa-Photo GMBH (leverkusen). The manufacturing company went bankrupt in 7 months resulting in the closure of the Leverkusen plant in 2005. The holding company was unaffected and retains a trademark license from Agfa-Gevaert for the use of the AgfaPhoto brand and 'red dot' logo on products having a photographic application.[16] Since 2005 these rights for consumer film products have been sub-licensed to Lupus Imaging & Media.[17] The color negative and slide films were made by Ferrania from 2005, whilst black and white films were converted by Ferrania from stored master rolls of Agfastock. Ferrania closed in 2009. Replacement color films were supplied by Fujifilm until this contract ended in early 2018,[18] ending the sale of color film under the AgfaPhoto brand.[19] Black & White films were replaced by new films made by Harman Technology after 2013.

CineStill
[edit]Based in the US, CineStill was established in 2012 and converts Eastman Kodak motion picture stock into 135 and 120 still camera formats. Color stock is suitable for C-41 process in labs as it is produced by Eastman Kodak under contract without the normal Remjet backing, a separate lubricating and Anti-halation backing used to protect the film in motion picture cameras. This means that the films lack the normal anti-halation layer also found in still camera film resulting in a characteristic 'glow' in highlights due to the internal reflection back through the film in the camera.

Ferrania
[edit]FILM Ferrania s.r.l. is a photographic film manufacturing company located in Ferrania (Liguria), Italy. Following closure of the original Ferrania factory in 2009 the company was re-founded in 2013 following a kickstarter campaign and support from the regional government to build a new film manufacturing base using the former Ferrania Research Laboratory (L.R.F.) and its narrow coater. Although initial plans focused on re-introducing a color slide film, FILM Ferrania commenced manufacturing a B&W still film in February 2017 based on P30, a classic 1960s motion picture film stock, being a simpler proposition. Production of the P30 'Alpha' ceased in mid 2018 due to further works to the L.R.F building and need to refine production to reduce wastage and P30 production did not recommence until late 2019. Orto, a new Orthochromatic film was launched in 2023 followed by P33, a 160-ISO panchromatic film with more flexibility than P30, in 2024.

Similar films are also made by Harman Technology for the Agfaphoto, Oriental and Rollei brands. The name is derived from the Kentmere based photographic paper brand acquired by Ilford in 2007 and the films are particularly aimed at the student market and those new to black and white photography, due to their lower cost and 'forgiving' exposure latitude. Film names and packaging were revised in 2018.[114] On 1 December 2022, 120 format film was added to the range.[115] An ISO 200 film was added in May 2025.

Kodak
[edit]
Kodak is a USA manufacturer of photographic films established in 1888 and one of only two major manufacturers (with Fujifilm) still producing color film. Kodak films for still cameras are manufactured by Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York, USA but since its Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2012, distribution and marketing is controlled by Kodak Alaris, a UK based company, acquired in 2024 by Kingswood capital management, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm [119][120]
The film range is divided into Consumer films, (ColorPlus and Gold/Ultramax) and Professional films, (Tri-X, T-MAX, Ektar, Portra and Ektachrome).[121][122] Kodak continues to invest in film with 2018 seeing the re-introduction of two films, T-MAX P3200 and Ektachrome. A wider range of sheet film sizes for some products are available by a group buying scheme managed for Kodak Alaris by Canham Cameras, USA.[123]

The company was privatised in 1990 as ORWO AG, but film production ceased in 1994 following the liquidation of the company. One of the successor companies, ORWO FilmoTec GmbH was founded in 1998 to produce high quality black and white cinema and technical films, based in Wolfen including the Camera films UN 54 and N 75 (List of motion picture film stocks) which are widely re-packaged for still film use. In 2020 FilmoTec was brought under common ownership with part of film manufacturer InovisCoat GmbH, also based in Germany to offer products for the film industry under the traditional brand “ORWO”.[187] A trademark dispute resulted in use of Original Wolfen branding instead. In 2022 they announced the introduction of a 'still' camera black and white film and a new colour film.[188]

Svema (Astrum)
[edit]Founded in Soviet times in 1931, the Svema film factory and chemical plant in Shostka, Ukraine was once the second largest film producer in Europe. Final coating of X-ray films occurred in 2003 and the plant closed completely in 2005. After attempts by the state to sell the business, bankruptcy processes were completed in 2015. The coating machinery was sold for scrap and the main buildings were demolished ca. 2018. However, a decade prior to closure, a small group of Svema employees had founded Astrum holdings in a rented building on the site in 1995, buying bulk film from various sources which they converted and packaged, for retail sale. Originally sold under the Astrum name (film expiring up to 2019), they later acquired rights to the Svema trademark and now apply the name to a range of films for nostalgic value.[230] (Tasma for NK-2). The current range comprises polyester (thin) base films of the kind used for aerial/surveillance photography. Potential suppliers include Agfa-Gevaert and Tasma.[231][232]

[edit]List of photographic films
View on GrokipediaBlack and White Negative Films
ADOX
ADOX produces black and white negative films with high resolution and fine grain, suitable for fine art and technical applications. These panchromatic emulsions are processed in standard black and white chemistry. The HR-50 is an ISO 50 film available in 35mm (135-36), 120, and sheet formats (4x5, 5x7, 8x10). It features ultra-fine grain, high sharpness, and extended red sensitivity for enhanced contrast in landscapes.[16] CHS 100 II is an ISO 100 panchromatic film in 35mm, 120, and sheets, offering classic grain structure and wide latitude, ideal for portraits and general use.[17] Silvermax 100, ISO 100, is designed for high acutance with Rodinal developer, providing sharp details in 35mm and 120 formats.[18]Agfa-Gevaert
Agfa-Gevaert's primary black and white negative film offering is Copex Rapid, a low-speed panchromatic emulsion with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 50/18°. This film is characterized by its ultra-fine grain structure and exceptional resolution, making it particularly suited for document copying, micrography, and other technical photography applications where high sharpness and archival stability are essential. Manufactured to meet ISO standards for long-term preservation, Copex Rapid exhibits a variable exposure index ranging from ISO 50 to ISO 64, depending on the processing conditions. Available in standard formats including 135-36 (35mm) cassettes and 120 medium format rolls, Copex Rapid is optimized for high-contrast reproduction tasks, delivering crisp detail in line work and text. For best results, it requires a special low-contrast developer such as the Spur Modular UR AB to maintain its fine grain, maximize sharpness, and achieve optimal tonal rendition without excessive contrast buildup. While it can be processed in standard formulas like Kodak D-76 for basic negative development, such methods may yield higher contrast and reduced latitude compared to dedicated copy developers.Argenti
Argenti specializes in black and white negative films featuring innovative emulsion designs that emphasize distinctive grain patterns to enhance creative expression in analog photography. Based in Spain, the company repackages technical and legacy emulsions into consumer-friendly 135-36 formats, prioritizing experimental textures over conventional performance. These films cater to photographers seeking unique aesthetic effects, such as ultra-fine resolution or diffused softness, while maintaining compatibility with standard darkroom processing. The Nanotomic X is a panchromatic film rated at ISO 32, engineered with a nano-structured emulsion for exceptional sharpness and minimal grain visibility. Its highly monodisperse silver halide crystals—where the largest grains are only 10-20 times the size of the smallest—enable resolutions up to 600 line pairs per millimeter, making it ideal for detailed pictorial work when developed in low-contrast formulas like POTA. Originally derived from Agfa Copex Rapid microfilm, this emulsion produces creamy highlights and high contrast suitable for line art or fine-art prints, though its slow speed demands bright lighting or tripod use. Scale-X, rated at ISO 100 and balanced for tungsten illumination, employs a specialized scale emulsion that imparts a soft focus effect, ideal for portraits and atmospheric scenes. This panchromatic film, based on a non-consumer variant of Agfa Scala, offers a wide tonal range and fine grain when processed as a negative, with an anti-halation layer on a clear triacetate base to prevent flare. Photographers appreciate its latitude for overexposure and potential for alternative reversal processing to yield slide-like transparencies with extended dynamic range. Pan-X provides a straightforward panchromatic option at ISO 100 in the 135-36 format, delivering balanced contrast and moderate grain for general-purpose black and white photography. Built on a 135 μm triacetate base, it emulates classic emulsions like Agfa APX 100, offering reliable performance in varied lighting without the experimental extremes of other Argenti stocks. Its standard sensitivity curve supports everyday shooting, from landscapes to street scenes, with development times optimized in common developers like Rodinal. The ARF+ Reporter Film Plus, a high-speed panchromatic emulsion rated at ISO 400 tuned for tungsten sources, replicates the gritty character of vintage news photography films in 135-36 cassettes.
