While the Arista.EDU Ultra 100 B&W Negative Film, 120 Roll Film is a versatile and high-quality choice for photographers, it's the compatibility with all major processing systems that sets it apart. This black and white film is designed for optimal performance under standardized conditions of 68 degrees F (20 degrees C). However, it's important to note that your developing time may vary based on your environment and equipment used.This product offers flexibility with a range of developers. For instance, it can be used with Arista 76 Powder with a stock dilution for a time of 6-7 minutes, or a 1:1 dilution for 8-10 minutes. Similarly, it's compatible with Arista Premium Powder, with a stock dilution time of 6 minutes and a 1:1 dilution time of 7 minutes.The Arista.EDU Ultra 100 B&W Negative Film also works well with Arista Liquid Film Developer and Arista Premium Liquid Developer, both requiring a working solution time of 7 minutes at 68 degrees F. Other compatible developers include Marathon Film Developer, Ilford ID-11, Kodak D-76, Kodak XTOL, Kodak TMAX Developer, Kodak HC 110, and Agfa Rodinal, each with their specific dilution and time requirements.For best results, it's recommended to agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds of development, followed by 5 to 7 inversion cycles for 5 seconds every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time. If using a rotary processor with continuous agitation, reduce the developing times by 15%.Remember, development times may need adjusting to suit individual processing systems and working practices. If your established system is producing good results, adjust the recommended development times until the desired contrast is obtained. In the unlikely event of a defect in manufacture, labeling, or packaging, rest assured that this material will be replaced. Beyond this, the product is sold without further warranty or liability. The Arista.EDU Ultra 100 B&W Negative Film, 120 Roll Film is a reliable choice for photographers seeking quality and versatility in their black and white film.

Good for test footage. It's no FP5 or Delta 100 or Double X (my personal favorite b+w negatives). I used a couple of rolls to do some scratch tests in a 35-3 and 435.

Gets the job done.

I love this film! It gives great contrast there is very little grain on the 100iso. This has become my favorite B&W film.

Great B&W film

arista edu is the only black and white film i shoot. i absolutely love the tones, the contrast, the shadows, the softness. i shoot mostly expired color film and this film gives me old film vibes.

my go to black and white film

My go-to for inexpensive BW film.  The most recent rolls have white paper instead of black, and the base seems a bit more pink than the previous blue.  Developing is still the same.

Old reliable

I bought this film because it was cheap and I wanted to experiment with alternative development techniques, and now I wish I?d bought it sooner. This film stock is EVERYTHING!!! Buy without afterthought, this is what you want.

My new favorite BW film stock

The film has a good grain structure and is very inexpensive.  I recommend it to anyone wanting to try black and white but don't want to pay Kodak prices. It is very easy to develop on your own.

Great film for the price and for beginners

Arista 100 (which is basically repackaged Foma 100) is a wonderful, classic looking Black and White film at an unbeatable price - it's almost always the least expensive or near least expensive photographic film on the internet at any given moment.

This is a very old fashioned film - like all Foma films, it's "true speed" is somewhat slower than its box speed (probably closer to EI 80 or 64). It's also grainier than, for example, FP4. But it has a beautiful tonality, isn't finicky in the development process, and comes in all the major formats. 

If you're new to analog photography, budget conscious, or just want an "retro" sort of look, this is a perfect choice.

Good bargain option

I really like this film, and the contrast was excellent developed in HC-110 dil H for 8 minutes. Delivery by Adorama was also excellent. Film arrived before expected date, which is always nice.

Glad I tried this film

Good contrast and expected grain for the speed and price. Would buy again!

Would buy again

I have used both the Arista Ultra 100 and 200 in 4x5 sheets and have found them both to be perfectly acceptable films. In fact, it’s hard for me to tell the difference between the two fine-grain films. I expose them both @ ISO 100 and process them with identical times, agitation, and developer dilutions. (With HC-110, 1:19, the developing times are about 25% shorter than those I use for Tri-X or HP-5.) They do have a few peculiarities: very thin emulsion layers, a vivid green anti-halation layer that turns your chemistry green - even after presoaking, and identical notch codes. I have heard that the thin emulsion layer is prone to scratches, but I haven't had any scratching problems. To date, I have made more contact proofs than enlargements. However, based on inspection with a loupe on my light table, after making a few minor processing adjustments I can consistently achieve good detail in both shadows and highlights.
