Arista EDU 100 Black and White Film Review | All About Film

Few films exist for which I would say this: If I had to pick only one film to use ever again, this would be a candidate for that, if not the final choice. Arista EDU 100 is a sleeper film that many people don’t recognize for being the absolutely stunning stock that it is. In keeping Arista.edu films on the market consistently as a known, reliable, and predictably-performing film stock for so long, Freestyle Photo has done a great service to the film community.

Arista EDU 100 is, in the scheme of black and white films, an offering that every serious film photographer should use, especially those who shoot sheet film. I’ve used Arista EDU 100 since June 2014, and in the near-decade I’ve used it the stock has been consistent, predictable, and every time that I ensure I shoot it with thought and care – a minimum for any good film photo – it has met or exceeded what I expect.

Will I shoot Arista in medium-format or 35mm ever again after I run out of my last few rolls? No, definitely not because there are options in this film class that I like more. But as a sheet film, for both the money and the results, Arista EDU 100 is the single-best 100 ISO sheet film because it performs on par with Ilford Delta 100, but for only a hair more than half the cost.
