Arista EDU Ultra 100: Classic black & white film, 8x10, 50 sheets. Fine grain, high contrast, & archival quality. Excellent exposure latitude. Shop now!

From the darkroom to the light of your creative vision, the Arista.EDU Ultra 100 B&W Negative Film is a versatile and high-quality choice for photographers who appreciate the classic aesthetic of black and white imagery. This 8x10 inch film, available in a generous pack of 50 sheets, is designed to be compatible with all major black and white film processing systems, ensuring a seamless integration into your photographic workflow.Crafted for those who seek to achieve normal contrast negatives, the Arista.EDU Ultra 100 film provides standardized developing times at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) with intermittent agitation. These times are a starting point and can be adjusted to accommodate variations in environmental conditions and equipment used.The film is receptive to a range of developers, including Arista's own line of powders and liquids, as well as popular developers from Ilford, Kodak, and Agfa. For instance, using Arista 76 Powder at stock dilution requires 6-7 minutes of development time, while a 1:1 dilution extends the time to 8-10 minutes. Similarly, the Arista Premium Powder at stock dilution calls for 6 minutes, and 7 minutes at a 1:1 dilution. The Arista Liquid Film Developer and Arista Premium Liquid Developer both recommend a 7-minute development time at their respective dilutions.For those who prefer other brands, the film also performs well with Ilford ID-11 and Kodak D-76 developers, requiring 6-7 minutes at stock dilution and 8-10 minutes at a 1:1 dilution. Kodak XTOL developer can be used straight for a 5-6 minute development time, while Kodak TMAX Developer at a 1:4 dilution also requires 5-6 minutes. For a more concentrated option, Kodak HC 110 at a 1:31 dilution and Agfa Rodinal at a 1:25 dilution offer alternative developing times.To ensure optimal development, the recommended agitation protocol involves continuous movement for the first 30 seconds, followed by 5 to 7 inversion cycles every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time. For rotary processors using continuous agitation, it's advised to reduce the developing times by 15%.As with any photographic process, development times may need fine-tuning to align with individual processing systems and personal techniques. If your established system is already yielding satisfactory results, you can adjust the recommended development times to achieve the specific contrast levels you desire.The Arista.EDU Ultra 100 B&W Negative Film is not only a testament to the enduring power of black and white photography but also a reliable medium for photographers dedicated to the craft. With its consistent performance and adaptability to various developers and processing styles, this film is an excellent choice for both experienced darkroom enthusiasts and those new to film photography.

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.
