Noir 200 - 35mm Black and White Film

The middle of the range. The most developer options. Make of that what you will.

ISO 200, near-infrared sensitivity, and a developing flexibility that the rest of the Noir collection doesn't quite match.

This Is How I Roll Film Noir 200 35mm Film is the middle speed of the Noir collection, sitting between the fine-grain precision of the slower films and the low-light versatility of Noir 400. Panchromatic, coated onto a transparent polyester base that dries completely flat, and hand-rolled into recycled canisters, it shares the same cinematic character and practical approach as the rest of the range. Near-infrared sensitivity, a wide selection of compatible developers including stand development, and a price that makes regular shooting easy. In stock now and shipping fast from the UK. Standard black and white chemistry, 36 exposures, no DX code.

What Makes This Is How I Roll Film Noir 200 35mm Film Habit-Forming

ISO 200: A Useful Middle Ground ISO 200 is an underrated speed in black and white film photography. It handles a wider range of conditions than ISO 64 or 100 without the grain trade-off that comes with ISO 400. For photographers who want the tonal quality of a slower film with more flexibility in mixed or variable light, Noir 200 sits in exactly the right place within the collection.

Near-Infrared Sensitivity Like Noir 64 in the collection, Noir 200 has spectral sensitivity extending into the near-infrared range, comparable to Ilford SFX. Shoot unfiltered for conventional panchromatic results; add an R72 filter for the infrared look. The slightly faster speed compared to Noir 64 means the filter exposure penalty is a little easier to manage in less than perfect light.

The Widest Developer Range in the Collection Noir 200 is compatible with a particularly broad range of developers. Suggested starting times at 20°C include: Kodak D-76 stock at 8 minutes 30 seconds, Ilfotec DD-X at 8 minutes with continuous slow agitation, Rodinal at 1+25 for 7 minutes, HC-110 at Dilution J for 60 minutes stand development (agitate for the first minute only), and Ilfosol 3 at 1+14 for 12 minutes. The HC-110 stand development option is particularly useful for home developers who want even tonal development with minimal effort. Times may vary with agitation method and personal preference.

Transparent Polyester Base: Flat Negatives, Better Scans The same transparent polyester base as the rest of the Noir collection: negatives dry completely flat, load cleanly into scanning carriers, and produce consistent results. A practical advantage for home developers that becomes apparent the first time you compare it to a curling acetate-based film.

Light Piping: Load in Dim Light The thin polyester base makes Noir 200 susceptible to light piping. Load in dim or subdued light and store the film in the black canister pot rather than a clear one.

No DX Code: Set Your ISO Manually Set your ISO manually to 200. Cameras without manual ISO control are not compatible.

36 Exposures A full 36-exposure roll in a recycled 35mm canister. No box, no excess packaging.

Best For Noir 200 suits outdoor photography in variable light, portraiture, travel, and any situation where ISO 100 feels a little limiting but ISO 400 feels like more speed than the scene needs. The near-infrared sensitivity and wide developer compatibility make it a versatile and capable film for photographers who like options. It's a strong everyday choice within the Noir collection for photographers who want more flexibility without sacrificing tonal quality. Black and white development is available here at Chemical Dependency Lab when you're done shooting.

Perfect for: Photographers who want a middle-speed option with near-infrared capability, home developers who want to experiment with stand development, travel and portrait shooters in variable light, and anyone whose Noir dependency covers more than one lighting condition.

Noir 200 doesn't make the loudest case for itself within the collection. It simply offers the most flexibility: useful speed, near-infrared sensitivity, stand development capability, and the same flat-drying polyester base as the rest. Sometimes the middle option is the one that works in the most situations.
