Lucky SHD400 — 35mm

An affordable and characterful black and white film from 
China's historic Lucky Film brand. SHD400 delivers deep 
punchy blacks, expressive grain, and high contrast with 
a mood and character that rewards deliberate shooting.

This isn't a clinical, polished film — it's raw, gritty, 
and full of personality. Perfect for street photography, 
portraits with strong light, textures, and scenes where 
bold contrast tells the story better than subtlety.

Pro tip from the community: rate it at ISO 200 rather 
than the box speed of 400 for more shadow detail and 
smoother contrast. It responds well to most standard 
B&W developers.
