Story

Bare feet rest on crumpled sheets, conversations long-forgotten echo in empty rooms, clasped hands and honest faces glow as they recall the memories that move them most and blushing lovers whisper tales of devotion – Babylon Kino B&W Film captures life’s most emotive moments in detailed tender renderings.

Babylon Kino is the fourth member of the Lomography B&W Kino Film Family – our very special collection of multiformat monochromes. Inspired by the New German Cinema sweeping through Europe in the 1960s, our Kino Films are extracted from rolls of cine film produced by a legendary German company that has been changing the face of cinema since the early 1900s. Originally used to make moody monochrome movies, their gorgeous black and white tones lend a timeless aesthetic to every shot.

With a very low ISO of 13, Babylon Kino B&W Film is perfect for seasoned professionals and experimental first-time photographers alike. Suited for those who like to indulge in sharp detail, smooth grain and subtle gradient transitions – Babylon Kino B&W Film delicately imbues frames with nuanced nostalgia.

If the specific developing time you are looking for is not provided then we suggest you use the standard developing time and dilution stated on the developer instructions.
