Wolfen 100

ORWO's own-brand 100 speed black and white, made in the Wolfen plant. Part of the revival of German film manufacturing. Clean and classic.

How it behaves

A daylight stock at 100. Expect fine grain and honest tones. It develops in standard black and white chemistry. The research describes a panchromatic black and white negative with exceptionally fine grain and a wide tonal range, reminiscent of black and white movie film. Retailers advise developing in Kodak D-96, since it is based on a motion picture stock. One caution: Flic Film sells a different product also called Wolfen 100, made from ORWO UN54 respooled into 35mm canisters. Do not confuse the two.
