Films for the Samsung Fino 140 SE

The Samsung Fino 140 SE uses 35mm film. The 35mm format is very common, so even today there are still some manufacturers and many development labs. A good choice for the Samsung Fino 140 SE are the Agfaphoto Vista 400* (colour film) and the Ilford Delta 100* (black and white film).

The colour film is processed in the C-41 process. This development process is carried out by all photo laboratories that offer development of 35mm film. For example, the large drugstore chains in Germany offer the development of colour films.

Due to the size of the exposure area, 36 photos usually fit on a normal film (135-36). The film in the camera is automatically rewound to the next frame.
