One Year With Film Only: Stats from Film Dating App

Vincent Moschetti from One Year With Film Only reports the choices from his Film Dating app, a web tool to find the film with the that you like. Since there is no one best film, as in anything, the tool helps the beginner find the film that they are most likely to like. So, the purpose of the Film Dating service is to help the new film photographer to find the film with the look that particular shooter finds most pleasing.

Vincent breaks down the top results from visitors to his app, and lists the top 10 films selected as results. Keep in mind that such a survey does not resemble the market for films, nor does it represent any statistically relevant result. It is just for fun, and represents the choices of people who visited his blog. That said, surprisingly, Kodak film dominated the top three positions, with the number one selected look being a B&W film. Lomography films make a notable appearance, showing that they have a look that people are seeking out. See the results and his video blog where he explains the results.
