Perhaps Berlin Kino 400 is not ideal for what Lomography intended, that classic German cinematic look. Nevertheless, I find it highly suitable for a subject I love, namely abandoned villages. The samples were shot in Hong Kong.

I used this in various light conditions - prefers moderate brightness and contrast and sky starts to look grainy in dark weather. I used a Nikon FE2 and a Nikkor 50mm lens - all processed + scanned by SilverPan and straight out the camera. Overall A film I will use again because it is fairly flexible for subjects + lighting - I probably need to be more familiar with the camera too!

I'm generally a fan of Lomo films and have shot all their regular B&W and colour stocks and would highly recommend all of them. Unfortunately Berlin Kino is a bit of a disappointment. The film base is pretty dark which probably limits the range of tones a typical scanner can pull from it, it's grainy and a bit soft without really having any distinctive character. For £8 I expected something a bit special, but this is like a roll of expired Kentmere for twice the price.

I shot and developed this at its native speed. I used the roll at one location on a bright morning with the light low in the sky so I was aiming for contrasting images with long shadows and rays of sunlight. The definition in the shadows looked to be lacking a bit, once I processed in lightroom I could see there was some detail, but with the obvious grainy trade off. It can be pushed to 3200 so my next roll I will experiment with different speeds. It has a nice tonal contrast, whites, silver and deep blacks. But the dynamic range is not as broad as I thought it might be. Will buy again.
I was looking for something just a bit different and I saw Berlin Kino... I love the presence of grain in this film as I find grain adds to my BW photos. The contrast is a bit weak but I can take care of that in Post. A beautiful film to shoot as this compliments my style perfectly...
My favorite goto B&W film is ilford HP5 which is a brilliant all round film that I shoot from 400-3200 iso regularly so when this film came out I was eager to see how it compared.I love contrast and good blacks in my B&W and this 1st roll of Berlin gave that in spades.I developed it in Rodinal which tends to enhance the grain a bit but this is how I like my images.I was even happy shooting portraits.I shot it at box speed so I am not sure how well it can be pushed but once I have tried it I will post my new review.So if you like punchy B&W and you are not afraid of a bit of grain then give this film a go.
I would think that most photographers going for the Black and White aesthetic would be using Ilford HP5; cost effective, forgiving and sharp. For myself I ventured out to see what the competition was and my first foray was very hit and miss.I was certainly drawn to the atmospheric qualities that outline what this film stock is trying to do and admittedly, the subject matter may not have been the best for this. However I pushed on and did get some images that have since had a little work done in Lightroom.Berlin 400 is not something I would choose over the rounded HP5, based on the subject matter Berlin 400 would be a great film stock for urban environments and not the landscapes I was going for. Despite this, I managed to get some moody images from the rock ...

Despite this, I managed to get some moody images from the rock lined crescent front of the lake which were quite workable.This film stock needs a good subject matter with lower light levels than I subjected it to. An urban metropolis, alleys or the moody environs of a light starved hotel room beg for this kind of film stock.
I'm afraid I have to echo other reviewers here, and say that my experience with this film is that it is rather dull. Not very contrasty, lots of greys and very visible grain. Honestly I'm a bit disappointed as the grain is rather distracting, and not as nice as Ilford HP5+ which is around the same price. Don't be sucked in by the lovely packaging and homage to New German Cinema as I was! However, maybe you could try being more creative (pushing or pulling the film) as my examples are shot at box speed.
I heard that Lomography repackages expired Orwo N74 movie film as “Berlin Kino 400”, but I gave it a try anyway. Sure enough, my results look just like long expired film: fogged, noisy photographs lacking contrast.I wouldn’t mind them doing this if they were upfront about it, but nowhere in the packaging does it say it’s already expired. And it’s not cheap. My first and last purchase of Lomo film.
Was expecting a little more from this, especially after trying Potsdam (which i highly recommend). Just doesn’t have a fun balance of shadows. I shot mostly landscape stuff and I’d imagine this film would work nicely for portraits instead.
