Clean contrast, fine grain, and a modern take on classic black & white.
Rollei Blackbird is a low-ISO black & white film designed for photographers who love precision, clarity, and expressive tonality. With fine grain, crisp detail, and a slightly punchy contrast profile, Blackbird shines in good light—making it a beautiful choice for street photography, architecture, landscapes, and carefully composed everyday scenes.
This is a film that rewards intention. Expose thoughtfully, develop with care, and you’ll be met with negatives that scan beautifully and print with confidence.
