Profile: I Shoot Film

Your blogger has been informed by B&H Photo that Berrger BRF-400 B&W negative film is discontinued. A quick search shows several other online photo shops* selling it, though. In the search, up popped I Shoot Film. This site lists many films and allows you to filter the firehouse of data by film manufacturer, format from 110 to 8x10, and development process (C-41, B&W, E6, etc.). Refining the search allows one to narrow down the choices, then clicking on an image gives a blurb about the film in question and a few sample photos from that film.

The blog has not been updated for over a year, so the list might be a bit dated and missing a few entries. For example, under Cinestill, only the 800T film is listed, whereas Cinestill 50D is also available now. Similarly, under the Instant film category, Fuji FP-100C and FP-3000 are listed, but neither are made any more. Yet Impossible is releasing new films every week, the latest being a Halloween inspired duochrome Orange & Black Polaroid 600 film.

Still, it is a useful site for finding that new film to explore that you have yet to use.
