Lucky Film is selling Yingzhe 100, a 135-format black-and-white film, through its official Chinese shop for ¥32. A Singapore retailer has also listed the film, giving photographers outside China one early route to it.
The name first appeared at a July trade event, where Lucky showed Yingzhe 100 alongside its C400 colour film. Lucky's store now supplies the firmer fact: this is no longer only a display product. What the company has not supplied is equally important. The listing gives no full technical sheet, development table or account of where the emulsion is coated.
Reports have paired Yingzhe 100 with a new Yingzhe 400. The faster film was not in Lucky's official store when Grainpress checked, and no primary announcement for it was found. For now, Yingzhe 100 is the verified release; the 400-speed version is a claim still waiting for the manufacturer to put details behind it.
