If 2017 will be the year of the big comeback of film, Zorki Photo has made an announcement that supports this claim. They are launching their first film product, and it will be a 100 ISO black-and-white negative film. So, after the comeback of FILM Ferrania and Kodak Ektachrome, film photographers have another film to look forward to.
Although it’s rated at 100 ISO, it allows you to pull it to 50 or push it to up to 400 ISO. You can take it to the lab, or develop it at home in all common developers. And according to Zorki Photo Blog, “it has biting contrast and a traditional grain structure that gives a pleasing, classic black-and-white film look.”
As for the price, a roll of Zorki Photo Mono will be available for only £4 (or about $5). When it comes to availability, you’ll be able to get it wherever in the world you live. Preorders will begin when the Zorki Photo shop opens on July 7, 2017, but you’ll be required to order at least three rolls. Lastly, the shipping begins in early October 2017.

Film photography was a lot of fun, including developing and printing. Maybe the “one hour” photo service at drugstores will come back, then we can have the fun and have our prints right away too!
I’m doing most of my photography now with digital, but often shoot film too.
I loved it, I took tons of snapshots when I was a kid and even in my teens. Although I would sometimes get disappointed with the results, I loved that anticipation before I go to the store to see how the photos turned out (I never developed them myself). :) I want to go back to film some more, and this is probably the best time to do it. :)
Please refrain from taking your rolls of film to a 1-hour. Trust me. The end product is far better if you take your exposed rolls to a professional lab. The C41 chemicals need to be monitored on a regular basis… and if the solutions is old (or too hot or too cold) it will definitely effect your negs. There are a lot of variables that come into play for developing films. If you care about your photos then take them or mail them off to a pro lab. The end result will be much denser negatives that will give you far better photos when you scan them in or optically print.
Would you rather have your rolls developed by someone working at near minimum wage or by someone who owns a business dedicated in developing film?
fasion? ;-)
Zorki, I like that name.
Developing was a lot of Fun if your life didnt depended on it, go ask any PRO old school photographer what he tough about the Developing Process and chemicals :D
