Films for the Nikon AF220
For which film format is the Nikon AF220 designed? The camera exposes films in 35mm format. 35mm films are still easy to get and are developed by most photo labs. One possibility for b/w pictures is the AgfaPhoto APX 400*. A possible film for colour pictures is the Fujifilm Superia 400*.
The colour film is designed for development in the C-41 process. This development process is offered by most laboratories. The black and white film must be processed in a real black and white developer. Some labs offer development for this type of films. But you can also develop the film yourself at home.
