CINESTILL BwXX 35mm is a classic panchromatic black and white negative film for both outdoor and studio use. It has a variable base sensitivity of ISO 250 under daylight (5500K) and ISO 200 under tungsten lighting (3200K), and can be rated up to ISO 1600 with the appropriate processing compensation. 

Ideal for low light situations, this film delivers rich blacks and high contrast images, while also providing very high sharpness, a broad tonal range, and a fine grain structure.
