Film manufacturer Orwo has announced a new, limited-edition color negative film stock called Wolfen NC500. As reported by KosmoFoto, the C-41 color emulsion is the first new color photographic film Orwo has launched in decades.
Wolfen NC500 is a 500 ASA, 36-exposure 35mm film produced in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany, where the company was founded back in 1910. ‘At the core of our new colour film lies a unique chemical formula based on the wonderful and legendary Agfa stock last used in the Oscar winning film ‘Out of Africa,’ says Orwo. ’ Famous for their greens, desaturated shadows and enhanced grains, these are all aspects that we are embracing for our new addition. ’
Rather than emulating other film stocks on the market, Orwo says it’s trying to create ‘an alternative, something with different characteristics and a different palette. ’ You can see the palette for yourself in the below sample images, provided by Orwo:

Wolfen doesn’t specify how many rolls of Wolfen NC500 will be manufactured, but pre-orders are available for $16 per roll on Orwo’s website.
