Ultrapan film is a black and white film stock re-spooled and supplied by Flic Film. It is available in 35mm format with several film speed options.

Ultrapan 100 is a low-speed panchromatic film with an ISO rating of 100. It features a fine grain structure and produces images with good contrast and sharpness. It is well-suited for outdoor and landscape photography, as well as portraiture and studio work. Its fine grain structure also makes it suitable for scanning and enlarging. You can get a roll at Beau Photo for $7.00.

 

Ultrapan 200 Ultrapan 200 is a medium-speed panchromatic film with an ISO rating of 200. It features a slightly coarser grain structure than Ultrapan 100, but still produces images with good detail and contrast. It is versatile and can be used in a range of shooting conditions, including low light situations. It is a good choice for street photography, photojournalism, and other subjects where flexibility is important. You can get a roll at Beau Photo for $7.80

Ultrapan 400 Ultrapan 400 is a high-speed panchromatic film with an ISO rating of 400. It features a relatively coarse grain structure and produces images with good contrast and detail. It is well-suited for low-light conditions, action photography, and other situations where a fast film is required. Its high speed also makes it suitable for pushing or pulling during development. You can get a roll at Beau Photo for $7.80.

 

Overall Ultrapan films are good quality, and affordable. They are a popular choice among many photographers for their versatility and relatively low cost compared to other black and white films on the market. I would shoot with it again because it is such a good deal. I mean c’mon $7.00 for a roll of b/w film? Hallelujah!

All images were shot with either the TowerN or Contax Rtsiii

All rolls were developed with Ilford Ilfosol at the specified time on the bottle.
