Lomography Babylon Kino Film

An ISO 13 rating is extremely low, which means this film is not sensitive to light. You will need to shoot in very bright, sunny conditions or use a tripod with long exposures, as it requires significantly more light than standard films like ISO 400.

Generally, no. Because of the low ISO 13 speed, you will likely need a tripod or a very steady surface to avoid motion blur, making it better suited for composed, static scenes rather than fast-paced street photography.

This film is designed with a very fine grain structure, resulting in sharp, clean images. It avoids the gritty, high-contrast look of some other black and white films, favoring a smoother, more cinematic aesthetic.

The high dynamic range allows the film to capture a wide spectrum of tones, preserving detail in both the brightest highlights and the deepest shadows. This makes it excellent for portraits where you want subtle, nuanced transitions on skin tones rather than harsh, high-contrast lighting.

Babylon Kino is a standard panchromatic black and white negative film, so it can be processed using most standard black and white film developers. Always check the developer manufacturer's data sheets for recommended development times specific to this film.
