This page compiles an extensive list of film stocks currently in production from Wikipedia and organizes it into a user-friendly table, allowing you to find answers to questions like, “How many film stocks are presently in production?”, “What’s the lowest ISO film available today?”, or “Which film stocks are made in Canada?” This list is updated in real-time and offers several improvements over the original Wikipedia article: it is concise, sortable, indexed, and searchable. Films marked in blue link to detailed reviews.
This is not a complete record of every film brand ever produced, nor is it solely a list of original, non-repackaged emulsions. Instead, it represents the best efforts of Wikipedia volunteers, focusing on the well-known rebranded and original emulsions available today, with some enhancements. For films categorized by price, see Film Price Trends.
