Dubblefilm Jelly 400 35 mm Color Film Review | The Most Colorful and Funky Retro Film for Unique Photos

May 14, 2026

I’m probably a little bit too excited to review the Jelly 35 mm film roll by dubblefilm, but I can’t help it! I’ve been waiting to try out this film forever and I finally got up the nerve to use it in one of my point and shoot 35 mm film cameras, the Samsung Evoca Zoom 115. I’m absolutely obsessed with the results. I’m always doing what I can to create light leaks and dreamy, colorful images, so I knew that I was going to love this film. I was on instagram one day and came across a few photos that a photographer took with this film and I bought a roll right away. It’s definitely not the cheapest film out there, but for what you’re getting, I’d be willing to buy it again.

I guess this isn’t really a review, but more of a rave because it’s exactly what I was hoping for. I’ve tried out a few experimental film rolls like Pyschedelic Blues and even made my own film soup (a fun way to alter your film rolls at home - I have a YouTube video about it if you want to try it for yourself!)! But the variety that I got throughout this film roll was pretty amazing. All of the images below are from the same roll of film, so you’ll see the immense color variation throughout. There are pinks, blues, reds, greens, and purples. And there aren’t any images that didn’t turn out because the color variations weren’t crazy or overdone. There’s just a gorgeous rainbow-like effect over each photo that brings a lovely, magical quality to them. I was actually expecting most of the images to be more of the pink/purple tone based on the images I saw on instagram, but I’m actually happy that there was more variation than that.

If you’re looking for a fun roll of film that it still reliable and won’t ruin any of your images, the dubblefilm Jelly 35 mm roll is definitely a great one to try out. I’d recommend comparing it to my photos using the Psychedelic Blues film that I mentioned above (you can see sample photos from that film here!). You’ll see that the dubblefilm is just a little less extreme and more subtle, yet still exciting and colorful. If you’d prefer something even more unique and unusual, the Psychedelic Blues film is also super fun to experiment with.

Another thing I love about this film is that for a 400 ISO film, it was surprisingly not grainy. When I’m using cheap point and shoot cameras, I’m sometimes disappointed by the results when I use a 400 speed film. Mostly because the cameras themselves aren’t super sharp, so when you combine that with a grainy film, it just lacks detail. But I didn’t find that to be the case with this film, and when I was scanning it with my Epson film scanner, I realized why - because it’s actually Kodak GC/Ultramax 400 film! They just used that brand when creating their experimental film, and I find Kodak GC/Ultramax to be a great representation of 400 film because it has that “film” look to it, but the grain isn’t overpowering. It works well in most lighting conditions and is the perfect all-around daytime film, whether it’s sunny or cloudy outside. I have a full review about the Kodak GC/Ultramax film on my blog here!

I’ll definitely be shooting with this film again, especially because I had such a blast shooting with it knowing that I was going to get bright, colorful photos. It was just so exciting! I love anything that makes my photos stand out. :)

Kodak Pro Image 100 35 mm Review with Sample Photos | The Best Affordable 35 mm Film Roll for Beginners & Professionals

March 18, 2026

I’m always on the hunt for an affordable film that still delivers the quality and sharpness I need when shooting film for clients or trying out new cameras to see what they’re capable of. Kodak Pro Image 100 35 mm film is definitely one of those films that I keep going back to. If you’re looking for something that rides the perfect line between quality and price, you might want to try it out!

One of my favorite things to do is test out cameras that I find at thrift stores or that friends and family members find in their attics and basements. Sometimes though, I’m taking a risk by loading a camera that I’ve never used with a roll of film, considering that the camera might not even work! Because of that, I don’t want to shoot through a whole roll of expensive film just to find out that the images didn’t turn out and I wasted money on film. Kodak Pro Image 100 is a perfect mid-range film that offers amazing quality for a middle of the road price. It’s not as crazy expensive at Kodak Portra 160, 400 or 800, but it isn’t quite as cheap as Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultra Max 400. Both of those films are great if you’re looking for something standard, but I find the Kodak Pro Image 100 to come across as a little more professional with realistic color tones and lovely sharpness.

For some reason, it took me a while to get around to shooting with Kodak Pro Image 100. I just always gravitated towards Kodak Portra because many of my favorite photographers used it and it has excellent skin tones and gorgeous greens and blues. A lot of the cheaper films are unreliable with color saturation and often end up with excess orange, yellow, green or blue tones that can be difficult to remove during editing. But Kodak Portra offers the perfect amount of saturation that doesn’t look flat but also doesn’t look overly bright and unnatural. I have a full blog post about Kodak Portra 400 if you’re interested in seeing some sample photos! Eventually though, I got tired of spending so much money on film! While I still purchase Kodak Portra 160 and 400 fairly often, I reached a point where I needed to try out some more affordable film to see if it could keep up. And lately, I’ve made it a goal to try out every film stock out there! It’s been a fun adventure so far and my refrigerator is currently stocked full of 35 mm and 120 film that I’ll be testing out soon!

Overall, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well Kodak Pro Image 100 handles colors and light. I realized while I was editing the photos for this post, that I barely needed to adjust any color temperatures or remove excess saturation at all! The colors are accurate and natural, if not a little bright for my taste. However, this film is perfect for testing out old film cameras because it has an ISO of 100 which allows me to determine just how sharp a camera lens is. And when I’m shooting 35 mm rolls just for fun, it’s nice to have those bright pops of color when the photos are somewhat simple. I typically just walk around town and photograph trees, flowers, landscapes and portraits of my pets and my husband when I’m testing out a camera, so it makes a difference in the excitement level of the image when it’s brighter with a little extra contrast. Kodak Portra is better for fashion, portraits, and weddings because of the stunning colors and skin tones, as well as the way it handles highlights and shadows, but Kodak Pro Image 100 is just more fun and silly. It’s great for candid, lifestyle photography or day trips to the beach. It really makes flowers and foliage pop without over-saturating, which is a major feat for such an affordable film. Lately, I’ve been preferring Kodak Pro Image 100 over Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultra Max 400 because Kodak Gold is often a bit too warm for my taste, unless I’m photographing at the beach, and I find Kodak Ultra Max 400 to have some unnatural-looking blue and green tones. As I’ve mentioned, Kodak Pro Image 100 is just the perfect in-between film that isn’t insanely expensive, doesn’t require a lot of editing and color adjustment, and truly captures a moment as you see it. While I wouldn’t say it’s the most magical, stunning, exciting film out there, it’s a straight-forward, approachable film that won’t break the bank. I just wish Kodak would make a 120 version of this film because I could really use a mid-range price tag on some medium format film!

Fujifilm 400 Color Negative 35 mm Film Review with Sample Photos! | A Classic Retro Film for any Camera

February 23, 2026

I love testing out film stocks and brands to see how they compare. The good news is, you can’t really go wrong with any of them, they just all have a different vibe! It’s rare that a film won’t turn out, unless it’s super expired or isn’t used correctly in the camera. For the most part though, standard 35 mm film is pretty foolproof. Some of my favorite brands are Kodak and Lomography, but lately I’ve been getting more into Fujifilm because it really has it’s own look to it. When I was a kid, my family used a lot of disposable cameras (you can find newer versions of these on Amazon and B&H Photo), and if you’re a child of the 80s or 90s, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Fujfilm Color Negative 400 was a common film used in those cameras and I’m sure you can picture exactly how those photos looked. You might remember the film name as Superia X-TRA 400 (you might still be able to find some expired rolls on eBay), but it has since been replaced with the Fujifilm Color Negative 400. What makes this film so special is this unique tint that Fujifilm has. There is a greenish element to the photos that make them feel more vintage and aged. While it’s not always my favorite when I’m photographing weddings because I’m typically outside in green grass and it ends up being too green, it’s a super fun film for capturing fashion, family & friends, architecture, travel, and other lifestyle imagery.

Fujifilm is one of those incredibly reliable brands like Kodak that has been around for years. The company was started in 1934 in Japan! And while some companies fizzled out when the digital revolution came to be, Fujifilm has been keeping up with cameras like the Fujifilm X-T5 and the X100VI. And I’m sure you’ve seen the Fujifilm Instax Mini cameras that are very popular. They definitely aren’t going anywhere anytime soon and are competing with some major brands like Canon and Nikon. I have plans to test out some digital Fujifilm cameras soon so make sure to check back in!

Obviously, the greenish hue and cool-toned elements are what make Fujifilm Color Negative 400 stand out, but it also has a lovely film grain that contributes to that vintage feel. I have a review on the Color Negative 200 version of the film, and you’ll find that one to be a bit less grainy because of the ISO speed. I find the Color Negative 400 to have the perfect amount of grain if you want your photos to look like film. And because it’s a 400 speed film, it is able to manage indoor and outdoor scenes fairly well. It’s kind of one of those all-around, perfectly versatile films that works for pretty much anything. This film tends to look a bit cooler overall than Kodak film, especially for portraits and especially in the shade, but you can easily warm up your photos in Lightroom if you need to. I just find it to be a super fun film that brings me back to the good old days. It also has such a fresh, yet retro appeal for fashion photography. I’ve included a handful of my favorite photos I’ve taken with this film below! Keep in mind, I didn’t really edit the coloring on these photos so that you can see the natural greenish tint and overall cool tones of the film. I typically would adjust the colors a bit more to fit my personal style, but for these images I left them fairly close to the colors of the original scan. I hope this helps you decide if Fujifilm Color Negative 400 is the film for you! If you’re on the hunt for the perfect 35 mm camera to use Fujifilm Color Negative 400 with, check out my blog post, Top 10 Best 35 mm Film Cameras for Beginner Photographers. :) For the photos in this blog post, I used the Canon Rebel K2 and the Minolta Maxxum STsi, in case you were wondering!
