Lucky Colour C200 - 120 Medium Format Colour Negative Film
Chinese colour film, now properly available in 120 medium format. Lucky Colour C200 is freshly manufactured by Lucky Film, a time-honored Chinese film brand that's still producing emulsion while everyone else is either discontinued or permanently "temporarily out of stock" and now they're doing it in 120 too. This ISO 200 daylight-balanced colour negative film delivers high contrast and medium grain with character, not the clinical perfection of modern Kodak, but the kind of look that makes everything feel slightly more interesting than it actually was. Developed in standard C-41 chemistry and sized for your Hasselblad, Mamiya, or Rolleiflex. In stock now and shipping fast from the UK.
What Makes Lucky Colour C200 Worth Shooting
ISO 200 - Medium speed for daylight shooting. The goldilocks rating that works in bright sun, handles overcast days, and doesn't require perfect light to function.
High Contrast - Bold tonal separation that gives images punch and presence. Not subtle, not trying to be.
Medium Grain - Visible grain structure with character. This isn't the ultra-fine grain of premium films, it's grain that contributes to the aesthetic rather than disappearing into it.
Daylight Balanced - Optimised for natural light shooting. Best results under the sun, though it handles mixed lighting with the kind of colour shifts that honestly just add to the charm.
Freshly Made - Not expired stock, not decades-old surplus. Lucky is actively manufacturing this film right now.
C-41 Processing - Standard colour negative chemistry. Any lab that develops colour film can handle this, including us.
120 Format - For Hasselblad, Mamiya, Rolleiflex, and every other medium format camera with a habit of its own.
Best For
Medium format street photography, travel, portraiture, and photographers who want something different from the usual Portra rotation without paying Portra prices. Once you've shot it, send it our way, we develop and scan 120 too.
Perfect for medium format photographers who want affordable, characterful colour film from a brand that's been making it since 1958 and has no intention of stopping.
