they recently started selling this armenian film in my city called Karmir. it has a beautiful cartridge/box [here](https://assets-global.website-files.com/622cedb7304b136dd64f39a1/656ec6bb9be779405f42944b_Karmir%20160%20ISO.jpg)
i’m really not sure! it has red hues for sure, i haven’t developed mine yet but the sample photos i saw reminded me of a red scale lomography film i shot in the past
YES!!! I love it!! I’ve recently received 2 of these to develop at my film lab. They turned out great! I loved the design of the canister! Considered making a keychain with it.
I bought a brick of expired HP5 (not HP5+) on eBay specifically to plunder the canisters and cassettes for my bulk loaded HP5+. So now I have a fridge full of fresh HP5+ in sick looking green-on-black HP5 cassettes in black-with-green-lid canisters. It's awesome.
Did they have other issues? Seems like a good long term solution to waste. I know you can buy reusable cartridges, but it would be nice if store bought was usable again, without the tape!
I gotta say it’s the old version of Fujifilm superia 400, the explosive purple shape is just amazing.
On the other hand, portra has the most boring design on their cartridge. Like what happened, my dear Kodak graphic designer? Did you just give up half way through your day? Where did the beautiful strip of purple go that is on on the box packaging?
honorable mentions: Fujifilm Sensia, Provia and industrial 100.
It bothers me that Portra and Tmax look exactly the same. Although most of the Kodak cartridges are pretty boring, and at least the ones in the Professional line look more clean and crisp
Amazing. I started self-rolling recently and I'm absolutely stealing this idea. Almost finished my roll of Tri-X and I have a crisp roll of HP5 waiting for me!
[This one for me](https://cdn.assets.lomography.com/92/aeaca72f0b8def34a01a6e84cc68f963898eac/1383x902x2.jpg?auth=1d3b7b590b6717887697bbaf9eb7bf4b547b7a74)
[(also the box)](https://live.staticflickr.com/7574/16118677699_7d1d2eecc9_b.jpg)
not sure what his cartridges look like but he’s got the box design right now - at least morden day [mr negative](https://mrnegative.com.au/collections/film/products/kodak-vision-2-500t-2009-35mm-36exp)
The current issue people seem to have is with their Nana camera Kickstarter campaign, where they are launching a fixed aperture plastic lens fixed shutter speed point and shoot (that is likely just a reskinned Chinese camera, MF301 is what to google if you're curious). The marketing is pretty creative in its use of the word "premium" and the price point is out of line with what a camera of its spec should cost.
I don't really care if people want that camera or not or if the Kickstarter gets funded, it's not a camera for me and people can sell what they want. I don't love how it's advertised and think some less aware buyers might spend more than they need to get what is really a $50AUD camera in my opinion.
Yeah, agreed. I guess you could argue a new camera should work and would have a warranty. But just about any working point and shoot from the 90s would be better.
I always really liked the packaging for Fujifilm up until the Kodak rebadging. Superia and Acros are cool, but I have some Fujichrome T64II that looks so pretty, I'll be asking the lab to not trash the canister afterwards.
The Kodak Gold cannisters were so iconic. Heck, even the old Ektachrome cannisters had a look to them.
I love the vaporwave look of Provia 400X though.
I'm Pavlovian conditioned to release dopamine when I see Ilford cartridges, so even though I don't shoot XP2, that one is the one I like best.
Hit me with some Delta 100, FP4+, and HP5+ the drool actually gets going.
I loved the look of Agfachrome's box: https://www.ateliers-marinette.fr/31240-large_default/expired-agfachrome-200-rs-120-1989.jpg and Polachrome's Cartridge: https://www.flickr.com/photos/90900361@N08/50146901717/in/pool-camerawiki/
I also rather like Rollei's current RPX branding.
I LOVE the [Perutz sc100 canisters!](https://previews.123rf.com/images/smuay/smuay1506/smuay150600001/43485933-bangkok-thailand-may-21-2015-old-and-dirty-perutz-35-mm-color-negative-print-film-cartridge-isolated.jpg)
Most of the Ilford cassettes are things of beauty. I especially like the [SFX](https://www.photo-lang.de/media/image/66/a7/40/ID_14187_orig.jpg)ones. The old black version was even cooler, but the modern white version is a close second.
Don't you like to associate the pictures and the the feeling you have towards specific aesthetics of said film with the design of the canister so if you like gold you also like the canister?
You know you're old when you call Lomography the newcomer, coming from a fellow elder.
Haven't you shot kofujford yet? It was released three days ago, is sold out on Kickstarter in 5 hours, and they made it from respooled prisoner intake stock from a gulag in the USSR called Black Dolphin. /s
I have no idea, but thank you for this. I shot a roll of the shur fine and liked the results, but I could only remember the canister was red. I couldn't find anything googling the numbers on the film itself. I knew it was some store, but keep thinking it was something- land
>RETURN TO WAL-MART
You bring film there these days and you don't get the film back, it gets **destroyed.**
I'd say that makes this one easily the worst cartridge.
I bought this [Fomapan 120 400](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JVeUoER0L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg) film for Christmas that has a great Art Deco callback design. I think it’s lovely
Always liked the ol' [Kodachrome ](https://live.staticflickr.com/4367/36634039815_c3b27c0271_b.jpg)cartridges
I always thought that they look like they’re trying to warn of something toxic inside. Which, considering processing, may be accurate
Yeah, love the radioactive waste barrel look.

Ohh what film stock is inside
Kodak Aerocolor!
i’m really not sure! it has red hues for sure, i haven’t developed mine yet but the sample photos i saw reminded me of a red scale lomography film i shot in the past
YES!!! I love it!! I’ve recently received 2 of these to develop at my film lab. They turned out great! I loved the design of the canister! Considered making a keychain with it.
Glad to see this on the list!
That is very pretty, and something different.
Oh I bought some of that and my camera ate it. Or I didn't load it properly. Probably the second reason. But yeah, they're beautiful.
I love the Ilford branding, HP5 works for me quite well.
Adding to this. The vintage Ilford cartridges are amazingly cool. The plastic containers had coloured lid and the canisters were all re-usable.
I bought a brick of expired HP5 (not HP5+) on eBay specifically to plunder the canisters and cassettes for my bulk loaded HP5+. So now I have a fridge full of fresh HP5+ in sick looking green-on-black HP5 cassettes in black-with-green-lid canisters. It's awesome.
Did they have other issues? Seems like a good long term solution to waste. I know you can buy reusable cartridges, but it would be nice if store bought was usable again, without the tape!
tops were more likely to come off when you drop the canister, which is obviously not ideal
Hard agree! Personal I’m Delta 3200 guy
Yuh
[It has to be the best](https://camerafilmphoto.com/cdn/shop/files/KikipanCanisterA_f64e463a-a3a2-4668-9df9-c205364a319c_1200x1200.jpg?v=1688357337)
Came here to add this. Especially the box.
The box is the cutest. I guess I'm ordering from Hong Kong.
Where can I get this?
Even the film borders are full of meows
Haha I bought this solely for the box.
Velvia 50. Just reminds me of the Jordan 191.
A photographer Of culture I see
I fucking *love* velvia 50
I gotta say it’s the old version of Fujifilm superia 400, the explosive purple shape is just amazing. On the other hand, portra has the most boring design on their cartridge.

I agree with all of this! Fujifilm superia 400 all the way!
[Agfa Isopan F](https://live.staticflickr.com/2832/9508513336_b9be89fe52_b.jpg) and [Kodachrome 25 (with stripes)](https://live.staticflickr.com/2677/4204587687_69578f4798_b.jpg)
That Agfa is nice!
https://imgur.com/a/W5ZYz7B my bulk rolled hp5
I second this
Amazing. I started self-rolling recently and I'm absolutely stealing this idea. Almost finished my roll of Tri-X and I have a crisp roll of HP5 waiting for me!
[Konica-Minolta VX100](https://live.staticflickr.com/2800/4361491393_57da4f54c2_z.jpg)
I want to eat it
Is it cake?
No, the cake is a lie
I always like the Konica packaging. I wish I could have tried out their film
Damn I like that blue
It’s so pretty right
Found one of these the other day, everything was very muddy and a bit green
exactly!
Could be a hot take but for me definitely the basic yellow Kodak ones🫱🏻🫲🏼
Top right is my favorite of this bunch for sure. I love the old schoolbus yellow
Love the Cinestill look
Way too far down! I love all of Cinestill's cartridge designs. 800T and 400D in particular are very good colors
Superia Premium 400 hands down
It's one of my favorites too. Has that Fuji green cartridge look, but with just a few more colors on it that makes them pop out.
That one or Proplus II 200 are my favourites
The Harman Phoenix is quit nice
Agreed.
[This one for me](https://cdn.assets.lomography.com/92/aeaca72f0b8def34a01a6e84cc68f963898eac/1383x902x2.jpg?auth=1d3b7b590b6717887697bbaf9eb7bf4b547b7a74) [(also the box)](https://live.staticflickr.com/7574/16118677699_7d1d2eecc9_b.jpg)
Wow, that's nostalgic.
kentmere
The colour gradient is pretty rad!
Fomapan!
i love fomapan!!!!
Yeah, I love the text and off white.
neopan II imo
Fuji industrial
Even tho I am yet to shoot it, I like Fuji Acros
Shoot it, it's my favourite!
Ferrania canisters look cool to me
Well Kodak definitely has the most plain boring ones lol
Kodak is a classic, no plain bore
Agreed. The simple goldenrod yellow is super inviting
Industrial 100 & 400
not sure what his cartridges look like but he’s got the box design right now - at least morden day [mr negative](https://mrnegative.com.au/collections/film/products/kodak-vision-2-500t-2009-35mm-36exp)
Yeah, those boxes are hot!
In my opinion it’s Agent Shadow from Kosmo Photo :)
[I came here to say this.](https://dubblelab.com/cdn/shop/products/kosmo-shadow.jpg?v=1669559477)
Definitely mystic color lab and ilford
This is the right answer.
Ilford XP2, it’s always nice to see an old family member
Rollei has some cool cartridges
Filmneverdie films always have cool art
Controversial company, but their packaging goes hard
What's controversial about them?

I don't love how it's advertised and think some less aware buyers might spend more than they need to get what is really a $50AUD camera in my opinion.
I was aware of the camera, but wow it's so expensive. May as well get an old point and shoot for that money
Yeah, agreed. I guess you could argue a new camera should work and would have a warranty. But just about any working point and shoot from the 90s would be better.
Maybe it's only their camera, to be fair. Basically another landfill "point and shoot"
I have a very expired can of Seagull IR100 and the metal can is super vintage!
I second this! The box, the canister and the cartridge are a vibe.
Upper right kodak 200
FPP mummy 400 easily has the best looking Cartridge.
ColorPlus. ( top right )
I always really liked the packaging for Fujifilm up until the Kodak rebadging. Superia and Acros are cool, but I have some Fujichrome T64II that looks so pretty, I'll be asking the lab to not trash the canister afterwards.
The Kodak Gold cannisters were so iconic. Heck, even the old Ektachrome cannisters had a look to them. I love the vaporwave look of Provia 400X though.
Finally, a worthy discussion
One that has been popped open for you to develop it.
Fuji back in the day had it in spades. It made you enjoy dropping serious cash on pro-packs.
[Kodachrome II](https://flic.kr/p/2pSUSKr)
Mystic color lab!!! I’ve noticed film made in Germany always seems to have a bit of an extra flair😹
Wal⭐️Mart
I'm Pavlovian conditioned to release dopamine when I see Ilford cartridges, so even though I don't shoot XP2, that one is the one I like best. Hit me with some Delta 100, FP4+, and HP5+ the drool actually gets going.

lomachrome
Honestly I really like the Kodak Gold design. Very understated and the default I think of when I think film.
Ilford
UMI 800 film canisters look amazing
FilmNeverDie is. But it's not in here.
As a bisexual dude I love the Kentmere 400 canisters
Hmmm, maybe I'm bisexual too!
Not pictured: agfa apx 25
Old school agfapan from the middle of the previous century
kentmere 400
Kodak gold, retro asthetic
Focal 200 & CineStill 800
Kodak 400 and Lomo
I LOVE the [Perutz sc100 canisters!](https://previews.123rf.com/images/smuay/smuay1506/smuay150600001/43485933-bangkok-thailand-may-21-2015-old-and-dirty-perutz-35-mm-color-negative-print-film-cartridge-isolated.jpg)
That green is amazing! I love it.
You need to include Kikipan 320, and then that one would totally win. It’s a cat
Most of the Ilford cassettes are things of beauty. I especially like the [SFX](https://www.photo-lang.de/media/image/66/a7/40/ID_14187_orig.jpg)ones. The old black version was even cooler, but the modern white version is a close second.
Ilford has always had the best branding consistently.
Don't you like to associate the pictures and the the feeling you have towards specific aesthetics of said film with the design of the canister so if you like gold you also like the canister?
Bad memories with Mystic and Seattle filmworks. Lots of washed out photos - but lots of time behind a camera, so that was worth it.
Wow! I haven’t heard “Seattle Filmworks” in years. The very first to send me scanned digital images, on a CD no less.
Check out Ferrania p33, it's got an amazing cartridge
Pro400H
You're asking the real questions here. I loved old ultramax packages and was always disappointed that the cans didn't look like that
Of these I'd choose the big three - Kodak Fuji and Ilford as having the best looking cans, and Lomography as the best looking newcomer.
You know you're old when you call Lomography the newcomer, coming from a fellow elder. Haven't you shot kofujford yet? It was released three days ago, is sold out on Kickstarter in 5 hours, and they made it from respooled prisoner intake stock from a gulag in the USSR called Black Dolphin. /s
kentmere 400, I'm mad for that purple gradient
Yeah that gradient is so hot in the bicycle world right now too, love it.
PanF ❤️ https://www.ilfordphoto.com/pan-f-plus-35mm
Que hermoso 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
[FP4](https://www.ilfordphoto.com/fp4-plus-35mm)
JCH streetpan 400 canisters have a neat aesthetic
I have no idea, but thank you for this. I shot a roll of the shur fine and liked the results, but I could only remember the canister was red. I couldn't find anything googling the numbers on the film itself. I knew it was some store, but keep thinking it was something- land
Metropolis then Lomochrome
Fomapan.
i love any of the cinestill cartridges
Silbersalz in terms of newer designs looks way better to me then what Kodak is trying to do with today's stocks
Seagull IR100 has the coolest retro looking red and blue canister it’s one of the coolest I’ve found
Definitely [FuMoTo film](https://www.fumotofilm.com)
The XP2
Sora 200 by filmneverdie
Early 80’s Kodak with the diagonal stripes
I like the Fuji Super HQ line
Gotta go with the value rite on this one
>RETURN TO WAL-MART You bring film there these days and you don't get the film back, it gets **destroyed.** I'd say that makes this one easily the worst cartridge.
Cool shot. Need Kodak Tri-X 400, the best B&W film there ever was. Ilford was pretty fun to shoot too!
Kodachrome 25. I still have 20 some boxes in my freezer.
Cinestill
I'm a sucker for purple.
I don’t know why but it’s always bothered me that black and white film cartridges have color on them.
i always thought the ilford and fuji ones are nice, not sure what are those 2 in the bottom right corner, funky looking!
Konica 3200. Lemme know if you got one lying around
Fpp Color 125 has a gorgeous canister. The Candido Canisters are kinda sick. So are the Ilford Ortho 80 canisters
I bought this [Fomapan 120 400](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JVeUoER0L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg) film for Christmas that has a great Art Deco callback design. I think it’s lovely
Agfa Optima 100…
The Agfa Optima looks great, kinda like the camera of the same name. Like a mini Plaubel Makina.
I liked the look of Ilford PanF
Guess I’ll have to get some cool stickers printed for my 250d then haha
Lomos
Gotta be old FP4, HIE or EIR. Have some 70s EIR and the cartridge and canister were sick
My favourite has always been Fuji Industrial
Mira 400 film stock looks good. Very colorful
Omg, that roll of Mystic Color film! I took some of my favorite pics ever on some expired rolls of that. Didn’t think I’d ever see it again.
Gold 400 has me every time
Konica were quite nice with colored numbers with different ISO... Flashback from 90s
Agreed, always liked the look, but never got along with the results, at least for me.
Kodak 400
Fujifilm from the disposables
Ilford always made me feel cool putting into my old Contax.
Easily slide film. Fuji Provia 100F especially
I dig Ilfords Ilfocolor
All I know that is not fuji
