Of the black and white films I've tried, this is my favourite. Perfect tomes, great detail and a 'look' to it I love. Sadly, as it is Russian made, I wonder whether I will ever be able to get it again.

Strong contrasty film, with bright highlights and deep dark shadows. Super sharp grain structure, which shows great detail, but still with a vintage look to it when using a vintage lens to soften up the images a bit. Definitely worth giving a go, and holding out for a sunny day.

I took this film along to a vintage festival. It was sunny with bright highlights and heavy shadows, which the film handled really well. It wasn't overly contrasty and the grain fine. The film base is really thin, and dries flat making it easy to scan, but does need to be handled carefully to avoid scratches. It is also prone to light piping. Overall, a lovely film, and I'll be ordering more when back in stock.

Absolutely love this film. I got it in my wonder box and was excited to try it because I love a high contrast film. I used it on a mildly sunny day and got some beautiful results. I will admit it is better used in sunlight but still is a great film even if it isn’t. I have and will be using this again. Although I use more colour film this will be my go to B&W for sure.

Mixed feelings Silberra pan 160
I like the fine grain that was produced in the final results. The landscape shots seemed a little flat, street shots showed better contrast and good detail in the shadows , very low light were better than expected.
All my shots with this film were unfiltered, Might try some filters on the Pan 100 that's in the camera now.
