This is the second Astrum order for 2025, and I am very excited to give you guys the opportunity to get some of this awesome film!

Orders are now open until October 18th! Fill out the attached form to let me know what you want, and PM me to let me know you have filled it out.

The films on offer:

Foto-32
A low speed, high contrast, ortho-panchromatic (slightly red sensitive) film that has an extremely fine grain. Can be shot at EI 25-100 to varying degrees of contrast. This is a sound recording film (either Kodak 2378 or ORWO TF 12D), also sold as Washi-S, and FPP’s “Svema blue sensitive”.

Although this film can be used with normal B&W developers, I have found a developer recipe that works extremely well with this film, called H&W control. It gives a nice contrast, and the film can be exposed up to EI 80! I will also be offering this developer here, in 100ml bottles. Examples on 35mm, developed in H&W control:

250% crop to show detail:

FN-64
A 100 ISO, extended red sensitivity film with a nice grain structure that captures detail well. This is a very popular film, and one of my favorites. This film is Aviphot 80. Examples on 220:
IMG_3871.jpeg IMG_3870.jpeg

IR-200
For those that like shooting IR, but don’t like having to use a super low EI, this is the film for you! This film appears to be an old areal emulsion, and has slightly more sensitivity than even Aviphot 200. It may be the same as FOP BW IR, but I am not sure.

Sensitive up to 775nm, this film performs extremely well with a 720nm IR filter, allowing IR exposures metered at EI 25-50, 1-2 stops faster than Aviphot 200. Examples at EI 50 with a 720nm filter on 120:

Note: this film is on a very thin, 0.06mm PET, so carful handling is required.

This is "Astrum" film? I tried to get some more of it last year and what I got was rebranded "Svema." I really liked the Astrum film and haven't tried the Svema yet. Don't know if it's the same film or not.

Astrum sells film under the old Svema brand, but it’s still the same film yeah.

I am interested in 135-36 of the IR 200.

Side question, do you know if the Svema Foto 32 and FN 64 I have that were made when the Soviet Union still existed are the same films that you are selling today?

No, they aren’t the same same emulsions. FN 64 is Aviphot 80, and photo 32 is some sort of sound film, though I’m not sure which one. Looks almost identical to Washi S

Cool, I’ll send you a PM

PM me what you’re interested in, I can probably get a quote for shipping internationally but it will cost a bit unfortunately.

May be I am wrong but I missing prices here

They’re on the order form, i’ll PM you the link. it’s easier to manage if I just have the prices in one place so I can fix any typos or errors without having to remember to change it in several places.

I would like a peek at the ordering form too!
Price list / order form please!

Thx!
I added a link to the order form in the original post, i’m not entirely sure why I didn’t do that in the first place, because thinking about it now that would’ve been a great idea.

In the past I’ve organized this mainly through Discord (and there still is a discord server if anyone cares to join!), and publishing that link had a whole bunch of random bots joining. But I don’t think that’s an issue here haha

Finally got the Foto-32 scans back, added them along with a crop to show just how fine the grain is. This is the type of detail that I’m used to seeing in medium format shots. Very impressed with this combination, I will personally be using it on occasion.
