KONO! Cinis 400

ISO 400 N&B medium all levels

~8–9 €

The KONO! Cinis 400 is a panchromatic ISO 400 B&W film from KONO! Manufaktur, based on a cinema or surplus stock. 'Cinis' means ashes in Latin — a reference to its characteristic ash-grey look in the midtones. Pronounced grain, high contrast, variable results depending on batch.

Atouts

+ A unique ash-grey look — impossible to reproduce with other films

+ A very rare, sought-after niche film

Limites

− Results vary by batch

− High price

− Limited, irregular availability

Cinis 400 is one of KONO!'s most mysterious films — the brand stays quiet about the origin of the stock. Its Latin name 'Cinis' (ashes) perfectly describes its look: an ashy grey tone in the midtones that sets it apart from every other B&W film. A film that demands experimentation and acceptance of unpredictability — each roll can differ slightly from the last.
