List of motion picture film stocks

This is a list of motion picture films. Those films known to be no longer available have been marked as "(DISCONTINUED)". This article includes color and black-and-white negative films, reversal camera films, intermediate stocks, and print stocks.

Contents

Agfa

Although a very early pioneer in trichromatic color film (as early as 1908), invented by German chemists Rudolf Fischer and Benno Homolka, Agfa was first made commercially available in 1936 (16 mm reversal) and 1936 (35 mm), Agfa-Gevaert has discontinued their line of motion picture camera films. Agfa Wittner-Chrome and Aviphot-Chrome reversal stocks (rated at 200 ISO, made from Wittner-Chrome 35mm still film) are avaliable in 16mm and 8mm from Wittner-Cinetec.

    • Fuji

    For negative stocks, "85" prefix designates 35 mm, "86" prefix designates 16 mm stock. Stock numbers ending in a "2" are Fuji's Super-F emulsions (1990s) and the stocks ending in "3" are the new Eterna emulsions.

    Also, Eterna Vivid series negatives' last second suffix as "4", and the ending suffix as different "E.I.".

    For intermediate stocks, as negatives', adding "45" prefix designates 35 mm in polyester(PET) base, and "87" prefix designates 65/70 mm.
    For positive and print stocks, "35" indicates 35 mm print film, and "36" indicates 16 mm print film.

    Fuji also introduced their Reala film - a color stock with a 4th color emulsion layer, which is also the fastest daylight balanced color motion picture stock ever offered at 500 ISO.
