Potsdam Kino 100 is a fine-grained ISO 100 black-and-white film derived from German motion-picture stock, offering a smooth, silvery tonal range and a subtly cinematic look. It is one of Lomography's cine-based mono films, pairing classic character with fine grain.
Character & look
Rooted in German cine emulsion heritage, Potsdam renders a smooth, luminous grey scale with fine grain and a gentle, filmic contrast that feels distinct from typical pictorial stocks. It suits portraits, still life and atmospheric scenes where a soft silver tonality matters, and develops in standard black-and-white chemistry.

Shooting & development tips
Rate at box speed in good light and develop conventionally; the emulsion rewards careful exposure with a rich silver scale. Try it for portraiture where its smooth mid-tones flatter skin.
FAQ
How does Potsdam Kino differ from Berlin Kino?
Both are Lomography cine-derived black-and-white films. Potsdam is the finer-grained ISO 100 option for detail and smooth tones, while Berlin Kino 400 is faster and grittier for low light and reportage.
Does Potsdam Kino need special developing?
No — it develops in ordinary black-and-white chemistry, so any home or lab mono process handles it.
