Kosmo Foto began life as blog (previously called Zorki Photo) in 2012 and quickly gained a big and loyal following thanks to the original and interesting content. Fast forward a few years and they are taking a front seat in the resurgence of analogue photography, producing their first film (Mono) - a rebrand of a less-well-known emulsion - in 2017. Sales have been strong and we hope to see much more of this brand in the coming years!

This film has great tones and grain, especially for half-frame. The few light leaks of my Olympus Pen EE2S give great results on this film. Also, it is might be trivial, but I love that the film is numbered FOR half-frame
If you're after high contrast B&W this film fits the bill. In bright light outdoors the speed is not an issue and handles contrasty lighting well. There is still a good range of tones in more muted light though. Overall I was really pleased with the results but will be trying other B&W films to compare.
Thoughts after a first couple of rolls: for the price its a very nice film. Seems to produce a good range of tones. Maybe there's a bit more grain than I would expect for an ISO100 film...but its certainly not unpleasant so to me thats not a problem!
Sample shot taken with Olympus Trip 35, shot at box speed and developed in Caffenol.
Oh...and dont try to pinhole it unless its a very bright day or you have a lot of time on your hands...the reciprocity failure rate drops off pretty quick!
Excellent quality photos. Great for street photography and portraits alike.
Love the tones and grain of this film. Very vintage look. Also very easy to develop at home, I've found that it works well with ilfosol 3. ISO 100 can be slightly limiting in some conditions, however. Therefore, you may want to look at other affordable B&W films such has HP5, Fomapan 400, kentmere 400. Fomapan 100 is another alternative to this film that costs less and is pretty much identical. I would recommend this film since it produces some very nice photos however I would definitely consider other options before buying.
