Description
Tasma NK 100 - a unique emulsion exclusive to the FPP brand and now available for UK shooters!
You've heard of "Cult Cameras"...and now here is the cult BW film - Fresh-Dated, DX-Coded and ready to shoot!!
Keep your film Light Tight! This film stock is subject to "light piping" when exposed to room light. Please load in dim light and store in a dark camera bag before and after shooting. If storing your film in fridge, freezer or home shelf, store in a light tight bag as well.
"Tasma" started in 1933 as a Factory Film Number 8. "Tasma" (in deciphering the "Tatar Sensitive Materials") was the name the company received in 1974.
FPP's Mark O'Brien writes: "Tasma film originates from Russia, and is described as a b&w motion picture film.
The Russian site says that the factory dates from 1933, so Tasma has a long history. The film is on a PET base, not acetate, and consequently is extremely tough and will not tear like an acetate-based film. It's also thinner than typical 35mm films"

I definitely shot this in the wrong camera. I received it in a mystery box and, knowing nothing about it, loaded it into my Voigtlander Vito B and ran off on an incredibly sunny day to shoot some Roman ruins.
And, as you can tell, all of my photos are hideously over exposed. But despite that, and my disappointment, I really enjoyed this film and would love another roll for a do-over! Definitely not one for beginners.
I was a little disappointed with my scans - though I see others have done much better! In most cases the highlights were blown out. Some interesting - usually unintended! - results though.
I received a roll of this film - knowing nothing about it - in a recent summer offer from AW. Embarking on an epic 2 week road trip camping around the Highlands, I decided to throw it in my bag along with a number of other recipes.
I had low to no expectations - but was absolutely blown away with how cinematic and impactful all the shots came out as. It won’t be knocking my go to B&W off the top spot, but I do really like it - highly recommend!
This film is pretty hard to work with, I'd say unless you have full light and minimal shadows you'd have to be very, very deliberate with your shots. However, if you are aware of this you can get some magic.
Probably won't buy again but glad I got to use it 🐱

Such a sharp, specifically for daylight designed, black and white film. Love the result and pictures. Worth the price!
Mostly I was disappointed with this roll which came with my Wonderbox. Maybe I left it too long to use? I was using a newly serviced K1000 and a handheld meter to check the reading from the internal one. About 18/24 shots were underexposed despite this. There are no marking on the film edge to check development. The good shots look OK though. Be careful of the light piping which I can see on the sprocket holes of the early frames.
I found NK-2 to be a somewhat contrast-y film, which can work well for the right subject, but consequently it's not one of the easier films I've worked with (it didn't handle over/underexposure quite as well as other films I've tried). A decent film, but not a favourite of mine.
First time I have used this film and really pleased with the results .
Excellent contrast and not to much grain . Will be using this film again .
FPP put so much love into each of their products they seem to give off the same preciousness as a set of fine china boomers refuse to use, but unlike them I'll take film I'll likely never use again and just throw it anywhere.
As seen in my sample shot, I used it at my buddy's Christmas dinner some 3 months ago, and wiped through that roll in a single night. I then developed it in some Tetenal Ultrafin+ and used the power of guesstimation to develop it, not only yielding every shot but there wasn't any overexposing or light piping.
I bought this roll in AW's Mystery Box, having yet to use the other rolls from it (Dubblefilm Treat, Ilford Ortho+), but I got a good deal out of it either way.
(The scanning is not a final product, just the best I got for now)
I adore this film - I love a heavy contrast in black and white and this absolutely delivers on that. I didn't have too much issue shooting ISO 100 either and it seems to have a decent exposure latitude. I couldn't recommend it for beginners however; the description really is honest about the light piping. I didn't experience it noticeably on any of my shots, I *did* see it on the edges of some of the negatives after development shown below. That's despite keeping the film in dark locations as much as possible and loading in a changing bag, so I would say doing that is a must if you're going to use this film. It's one that requires planning and preparation rather than just popping a reel in quick and getting on with it.
Really cool and unusual film, there was a fair bit of messaging about being careful around light piping (alas, I think I ended up getting some), but I'm really happy with how it turned out! Grain had a nice characteristic, even on half frame, and it overwhelmingly had a punchy contrast if that's your sort of thing!
I bought this earlier in the year to use as for particular projects that would be coming up with historical reenactment. I eventually used it last month on a shoot at a mining museum and I thought it performed brilliantly and gave the kind of results I was looking for.
It was a little more contrasty than I first envisioned but overall I’ve loved the results and would definitely use again for similar situations
Enjoyed trying something new here. Punchy contrast makes for some great shots. Makes you seek out those high contrast scenes where you can crush the shadows for that ominous effect.
Really enjoyed using this one. It was another roll that I wasn't sure I was going to like after getting it in the wonder box. I developed mine in Cinestill DF96 & it came out really nice if a little grainy. The deep blacks are so so nice & the sharpness & contrast is on point. One of my fav black and whites I've tried this year.
