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.

Agfa-Gevaert

[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.

Kentmere is a brand of classic grain B&W films introduced in 2009 and produced by Harman Technology in Mobberley, Cheshire, UK. Originally designed as a lower priced brand to their Ilford offer to compete in the US market they are now available worldwide.

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.

Once part of Agfa, the partition of Germany saw the company divided, the East German company becoming VEB Film- und Chemiefaserwerk Agfa Wolfen, which later adopted the brand ORWO in 1964. 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.

A list of photographic films is a comprehensive catalog of light-sensitive materials used in , typically organized by manufacturer, emulsion type, format, sensitivity (measured in ISO/ASA speeds), and other technical specifications such as color response, grain structure, and base material. These lists document both historical and contemporary films from major producers like Eastman Kodak, , (under Harman Technology), and others, serving as references for photographers, archivists, and historians to identify products for creative, scientific, or preservation purposes. The origins of photographic film trace back to the late , when developed the first commercial transparent in 1889, replacing rigid glass plates and enabling portable cameras like the Kodak No. 1. This innovation democratized photography, shifting it from studio-based processes to widespread amateur use. Subsequent milestones included the introduction of safety film bases in 1910 to reduce flammability risks, color reversal films like in 1935, and instant films by Polaroid in the 1940s, expanding applications from still photography to motion pictures and scientific imaging. By the mid-20th century, films were categorized by base materials—such as cellulose nitrate (flammable, used until the 1950s), (safer alternative from 1910), and (introduced in the 1950s for durability)—reflecting ongoing improvements in stability and handling. Key types of photographic films include black-and-white negative films, which produce invertible images on a clear base for ; color negative films, featuring layered emulsions sensitive to , , and blue light for versatile ; and color (slide) films, which yield positive transparencies suitable for projection. Formats vary widely to suit different cameras and uses, such as 35mm for compact cameras, 120 medium-format rolls for higher resolution, 4x5-inch or larger sheet films for studio work, and specialized motion picture stocks like 16mm or 65mm. Sensitivity ranges from low-speed films (ISO 25–100) for fine detail in bright conditions to high-speed options (ISO 800–3200) for low-light scenarios, with characteristics like contrast, latitude, and reciprocity failure defining their performance. Despite the dominance of digital imaging since the 2000s, analog photographic film production persists through dedicated manufacturers, with recent investments signaling a resurgence driven by artistic interest and nostalgia as of 2025. Companies like Kodak continue to offer motion picture and still films, Fujifilm maintains color negative and reversal lines, and Ilford specializes in black-and-white emulsions, ensuring availability for contemporary users. This revival, amplified post-2020, has led to expanded catalogs and new formulations, with Kodak reporting a 20% sales surge in 2024 and the global market reaching $2.86 billion, underscoring film's enduring role in creative expression.
