Film Washi Bw Films - 135 or 120 - Price Per Roll

THE LISTING OFFERS A SINGLE ROLL FOR SALE

Analog film that looks like it was dreamed, not manufactured.

Film Washi – the self‑proclaimed “world’s smallest film company,” founded by Lomig Perrotin and still run as a one‑person operation out of repurposed French Army containers in Brittany. Film Washi began with a wild idea: one hand‑coated film on traditional Japanese paper (W), inspired by early paper negatives and Eastman’s first rolls, and then grew into a family of films made from converted industrial stocks on regular film base (like K, E, and Z). Instead of chasing clinical perfection, these films embrace texture, imperfection, and the physical grain of the medium as part of the image itself.

E – ISO 3 – 120

Born from the electronics world, also on a standard film base: an ultra‑slow, high‑contrast, wonderfully unforgiving film made for long exposures, bold, graphic shapes, and very intentional shooting.

F – ISO 100 – 135 & 120

A medical fluorographic X-ray film once used for mass chest screenings, now reborn for creative

photography. Lacking an anti-halation layer, it delivers glowing diffusion, soft contrast, and beautiful grain.

K – ISO 100 – 120

Vintage aerial film originally made for mapping, on a conventional film base, with classic, crisp tonality and tight grain, perfect when you want that timeless black‑and‑white look.

W – ISO 25 – 120

The original hand‑coated paper film in this lineup – emulsion brushed onto Japanese washi paper – available in this batch only in 35mm. It gives dreamy, textured images that feel more like paper negatives than modern emulsions, ideal for portraits, still life, and atmospheric urban scenes.

Z – ISO 400 – 135

Originally vegetation‑mapping film on a regular film base, now a fast, characterful black‑and‑white option with unusual tonal separation, especially in landscapes and textured city scenes.

Film Washi’s whole ethos is DIY, recycling, and making the most of forgotten materials, and that fits perfectly with the analog lifestyle this shop is about: slowing down, accepting the unexpected, and letting chemistry, paper, and light leave their own handwriting across the frame. If you’re into unique stocks, hand‑crafted processes, and films that don’t play it safe, K, E, W, and Z belong in your camera bag.

A few rolls of Washi films are available from time to time. Because Film Washi is a one‑person operation and many of these films are handcrafted or hand‑coated, quantities are naturally limited.
