What are some weird/rare types of analog film to use?
Don't care about brand, ISO, size, development process, etc. Just want to see if there's anything interesting that most people don't know about.

wet plate collodion
Found a Soviet snapshitter at a flea market and it had one of these inside, didn't even know such thing existed as dedicated babby film. The roll is fully shot, I'm somewhat interested to see what kind of colors this shit has, but on the other hand I don't really feel like paying for C-41 lab job to get some asshole's babby photos they didn't even care about themselves.

pretty thorough explanation circa '93 (apparently the golden era of babby film) here

116 autographic rollfilm, 70mm aerial photography films, dufaycolor raster colour transparency film,to name a few less known ones.
Lomography.com sell some weird ones.
I've tried Purple but I don't like it very much.
You can also look up "redscale" and try that. You can do it with any colour film but I find it works best with a normal speed negative film. ISO 100 or 200.
Pic related; it's Lomo Purple. They also made a turquoise one, but I was so disappointed in the Purple that I didn't try that.

Oh, and there's infrared film, but you need an IR filter for that and I don't know how much money you're looking to spend.
Pic is Rollei IR400 developed in xtol.
1 second at f/16 through an R72 infrared filter.

The left half of this is redscale.

And this is redscale through a blue filter.

i thought it was cool
Lucky Super 200: Muted tones with deep blue blacks and orangy reds and yellows.
Efiniti UXi Super 200: Not too familiar with its character but so far it looks nice, just found it through someone on Instagram.

dont fall for the washi meme. youve been warned.
Surveillance films. Maco sells some in colour (C-41! likely old stock tho, don't know of any European manufacturer of colour negative film) and in black and white. They're optimized for things like reading a number plate off a far-away car, or identifying someone behind the wheel.
Aerial photography films. Retro 80s, 400s, that sort of thing. Dicky exposure, great resolution, defined clouds in the sky without filter, fuck-all for dynamic range. Light piping cos of the translucent PET base. Final destination.
Fomapan's Retro 320. Grain out the arse, no anti-halation layer. You've been warnt; this stuff looks like it came from 1916.

Why? Sure it's pricey, but it's handmade.

You should clearly get a Leica M3 if you don't own one already.
>>2970364
I would only recommend Retro 80S if you're DSLR scanning, or darkroom printing. Other digitisation processes don't have the resolution or dynamic range to make it worth using.
>>2970398
And preferably expose it with a F5 or F100. Or during cloudy weather. It's about as tolerant to underexposure as slide film.

haitian mud cakes are handmade, and guess what, they fucking suck.
