Fado 200

A 200-speed film from Fado, a small brand with a thin paper trail. The research describes a color film. This roll came back black and white, so the frames are what this page goes by.

How it behaves

The first roll is a test roll. Rate it at 200, shoot normal scenes, and see what it does. Do not trust it on a trip until you have seen that first roll back. On the evidence of this set, expect a punchy black and white with deep shadows, whatever the color documentation says.
