Cinestill BwXX 35mm film is a captivating monochrome film designed to deliver a timeless and cinematic experience. This film is derived from motion picture film stock used in Hollywood during the mid-20th century, making it an excellent choice for photographers seeking classic black and white aesthetics.
With its fine grain and high silver content, BwXX produces stunning, rich tones, deep blacks, and exceptional shadow detail. Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or street scenes, Cinestill BwXX will infuse your images with an unmatched artistic allure, reminiscent of the golden era of film photography.
Films that have included scenes shot on this emulsion include Kill Bill Vol 1, Schindler's List, Casino Royale and Raging Bull - the definition of artistic royalty.
BwXX is officially rated at ISO 250 for Daylight and ISO 200 for Tungsten light, although photographers shooting at ISO 200 are highly unlikely to see any difference in the negatives.
CineStill celebrated it's 5th birthday in 2017, having quickly developed a fantastic reputation world-wide for their innovative approach to fulfilling analogue needs. They are specialists in converting rolls of cinema film - designed for movies - into batches of 35mm and medium format film that can be used in thousands of cameras, and developed in any minilab in the world. Their passion is for everyday photographers to have the same access to high-quality emulsions as Steven Spielberg, Wes Anderson, Martin Scorsese, and The Coen Brothers! Sometimes referred to as Cine Still.

My first time shooting b&w film and I really liked the results.
The film works well for architecture and some portraits.
There is a high amount of grain and the results have moody atmosphere to them.
It has definitely made me like to experiment with b&w and this film again.

Really happy with the results, Hope it comes back in stock soon.
I was really happy with the results from this. For Black and White I am normally an Ilford shooter, however I was blown away by the results from the Cinestill roll. Would recommend if you haven't tried it yet.

Really impressed, lovely soft BW images
I love the tonal range, its very smooth and highlights go nice and buttery rather than blank. The cost puts me off buying more, but I know if its loaded I'm taking my best pictures!
