Gets the job done.

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.

Great B&W film

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

Old reliable

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.

My new favorite BW film stock

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.

Great film for the price and for beginners

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.

Good bargain option

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.

Glad I tried this film

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.

A few quirks, but a good film at a good price

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.

Great B&W film

By JOHN M.

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

Over the years, the Arista.EDU Ultra B&W Negative Film has become a go-to choice for photographers seeking high-quality, 35mm roll film. This film, offering 24 exposures, is designed to be compatible with all major processing systems, ensuring a seamless experience for users across different platforms.

The Arista.EDU Ultra B&W film is optimized for a developing temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). However, the developing time may vary based on the environment and equipment used, allowing for a degree of flexibility and customization in the development process.

This film is compatible with a variety of developers, including Arista 76 Powder, Arista Premium Powder, Arista Liquid Film Developer, Arista Premium Liquid Developer, Marathon Film Developer, Ilford ID-11, Kodak D-76, Kodak XTOL, Kodak TMAX Developer, Kodak HC 110, and Agfa Rodinal. Each developer requires a specific dilution and developing time, providing a range of options to achieve the desired contrast and tonal range.

For optimal results, it is recommended to agitate the film continuously for the first 30 seconds of development. Following this, 5 to 7 inversion cycles for 5 seconds every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time are suggested. If using a rotary processor with continuous agitation, the developing times should be reduced by 15%.

Please note that development times may need adjusting to suit individual processing systems and working practices. If an established system is producing good results, adjust the recommended development times until the desired contrast is obtained.

The Arista.EDU Ultra B&W Negative Film is committed to quality, promising to replace any material found defective in manufacture, labeling, or packaging. This commitment ensures that you can focus on capturing stunning black and white images, confident in the reliability of your film.
