Optik Oldschool OptiMono 100 135-36
Optik Oldschool OptiMono 100 is an ISO 100 black and white negative 35mm film that combines classic monochrome character with modern workflow flexibility.
Built on a new Filmotec emulsion made in Wolfen, Germany, it delivers fine grain, moderate contrast and smooth tonal transitions, producing negatives rich in detail and subtle greyscale tonality. Rather than favouring strong contrast, OptiMono 100 preserves highlight and shadow detail, making it particularly well suited to scanning, darkroom printing and creative post-processing workflows.
Its tonal response naturally renders red tones slightly lighter and green tones slightly darker. The result is flattering, smooth skin rendition in portraits, while vegetation and natural landscapes gain additional depth, texture and tonal separation.
The film‘s balanced contrast and broad tonal range make it exceptionally versatile across a wide variety of subjects. From editorial and fashion portraiture to landscape and nature photography, OptiMono 100 offers a timeless black and white aesthetic with a refined, contemporary feel.

- Fine grain
- Moderate contrast
- Wide tonal range
