Wedding season is in full swing.

So we thought it was the perfect time to look at five different film stocks through the lens of a very special day: the wedding of our Lab Manager Maddie and her wife Maggie.

Five films. Five different moods:

🎞️ Portra 800
🎞️ Kodacolor 100
🎞️ OptiMono100
🎞️ OptiColour 200
🎞️ Santacolor 800

From soft and subtle to colourful and punchy. Every film brings its own character to those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

But now we want to hear from the wedding photographers out there:
What’s your favourite film stock for shooting weddings? Drop one of your wedding shots in the comments. We’d love to see them.

WHY WE ARE REPUBLISHING THIS POST:

It was brought to our attention that we were alleged to have infringed trademark rights in the UK, even though FilmoTec had marketed several products under the same trademark. Since we do not have any interest in a conflict, we decided to alter the initial post.

WARUM WIR DIESEN POST ERNEUT VERÖFFENTLICHEN:

Wir wurden darauf hingewiesen, dass uns vorgeworfen wurde, Markenrechte in Großbritannien verletzt zu haben, obwohl FilmoTec mehrere Produkte unter derselben Marke vermarktet hatte. Da wir kein Interesse an einem Konflikt haben, haben wir beschlossen, den ursprünglichen Beitrag zu ändern.

A new chapter begins.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Optik Oldschool’s co-founder Chris Vandebroek has acquired InovisCoat (Monheim) and FilmoTec/Original Wolfen (Wolfen, Bitterfeld).

With this acquisition, we are no longer just developing and distributing photographic film. The Optik Oldschool family has become a film manufacturer.

This is about far more than business.

It is about preserving one of Europe’s most important centres of photographic film production and ensuring that film Made in Germany continues to have a future. At a time when manufacturing is increasingly being moved abroad, we have chosen the opposite path: to protect knowledge, safeguard jobs, and preserve decades of expertise.

The journey began in November 2024 with a collaboration between Optik Oldschool and InovisCoat/ FilmoTec. In April 2025, the first production run of OptiColour 200 followed. During the summer of 2025, discussions about the acquisition began and were successfully concluded in July 2026.

The vision is clear. We will continue investing in both Monheim and Wolfen, expand our film range across 35mm, 120 and sheet film, develop new photographic materials and work to ensure that analogue photography remains accessible and affordable for photographers around the world.

Film is not simply a product.
It is craftsmanship, science, history and culture.

Today, we are proud to take responsibility for carrying that legacy forward.

As part of BEYOND FILM, from the Optik team selects a “PICK-OF-THE-DAY” for each day of the exhibition. On the final day, the choice goes to Sabrina Weniger Sabrina:

“To me, this photograph resists analysis. I love its composition, the colour palette and the gentle honesty of the child, completely surrendered to the moment. Its quietness feels both ordinary and deeply poetic.

Together, all elements create something greater than the sum of their parts.”
