Film Washi I ISO 80 120

Film Washi I ISO 80 is a rare orthochromatic black-and-white film originally manufactured as industrial X-ray film and coated on a clear polyester base. Repurposed for creative photography, it delivers ultra-sharp, high-contrast images with a spectral, vintage tone—especially striking for portraits, architecture, or experimental projects.

As an orthochromatic film, it is blind to red light, which results in unique renderings of skin tones and skies. The completely transparent polyester base makes it durable and excellent for flat, distortion-free scanning, while also offering a cinematic aesthetic.

Though it requires careful exposure and development, Washi I rewards photographers with a singular, graphic visual language. Best processed with standard B&W chemistry, it is ideal for those seeking an unconventional film experience.
