Do you have a list of Russian brands producing 135 film for analog cameras?
As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, there are a few Russian brands that have historically been associated with producing 135 film for analog cameras. However, the availability of these brands and their products may vary, as the analog film market has seen fluctuations in recent years. Here are some notable Russian brands that have produced or are associated with 135 film:
- Svema
- Svema is one of the most well-known Russian film brands, historically produced in Ukraine (formerly part of the Soviet Union). It was widely used during the Soviet era and is known for its unique color and black-and-white films. Some Svema films have been reintroduced or rebranded in recent years.
- Tasma
- Tasma is another historic Russian brand that produced photographic films, including 135 format. It was primarily known for its black-and-white films and was widely used in the Soviet Union.
- Fotomag
- Fotomag is a lesser-known brand that has been associated with Russian film production. It has produced both color and black-and-white films in the past.
- Slavich
- While primarily known for its photographic paper and large-format films, Slavich has also been associated with 135 film production, particularly black-and-white films.
- Kosmo Foto
- Kosmo Foto is a modern initiative that collaborates with Russian manufacturers to produce new 135 film stocks. It is not a traditional brand but has gained attention for its efforts to revive analog film production in Russia.
Notes:
- Many of these brands were historically produced during the Soviet era, and some have been discontinued or rebranded. However, there has been a resurgence of interest in analog photography, leading to the reintroduction of some films.
- If you’re looking for specific films, it’s worth checking with specialty film retailers or online stores that cater to analog photographers.
