Black and White films available around the world

Once upon a time, the world of black and white photography was fairly straightforward. Basically, the company that made the film put its own name on the packet. If something said Kodak, Ilford, Fuji, Agfa, Konica or whatever then you usually knew who the creator was. Nowadays, the situation is cloudier than that and it's not always easy to say in which coating plant a particular film had its origins.

I don't think anything has changed for Kodak but the others all require a little detective work to establish their origins - and even then the goalposts shift all the time. Here, I've listed all the films that I'm aware of that are currently available throughout the world. Some may no longer be made but can still be bought online.

The table was put together with considerable help from TOD readers. I wanted to do this as it was something that caused me a lot of confusion when I returned to film. This list is as inclusive as we can make it but it might be that we've missed a film here or there. If you know of a film that should be included then please get in touch at EMAIL.

Some of the films listed below may be available in sizes other than the ones specified. In particular, Ilford and Adox make a range of other sizes such as 5x7 and 9x12cm and Ilford invite orders for ultra large format and "odd" sizes once a year.

A final thought: there are 65 films listed. Who said analogue was dead?
