AGFAPHOTO APX 100 135/36 - everyday ISO 100 black-and-white film

AGFAPHOTO APX 100 135/36 is an affordable ISO 100 black-and-white film for calm daylight shooting. It is a good choice when you want a classic B&W frame without anything too exotic: portraits, landscapes, architecture, city details and everyday walks.

APX 100 has moderate grain, straightforward sharpness and clear contrast. It is not a premium high-end material like T-Max 100, Delta 100 or Acros II, but that is exactly why it works well as a regular shooting film, a camera-test roll and a good way to practise exposure.

Technical notes

  • Format: 35mm / 135, 36 exposures.
  • Speed: ISO 100/21°.

What I would use it for

I would load it on bright days, for outdoor work, window-light portraits and scenes where high speed is not needed. With careful exposure APX 100 gives a clean, honest negative that is easy to scan and print.

Status: preorder. A good affordable option for daylight black-and-white shooting.
