Fotostop VXS 200 - Expired 2005/2006
A true hidden gem for the expired film enthusiast. Fotostop VXS 200 was a private-label stock often found in independent photo labs during the peak of the analog era. Expired around 2005/2006, this film offers a unique opportunity to shoot a lesser-known emulsion that delivers a distinct, moody, and vintage aesthetic.
The Highlights
-
The "Euro" Aesthetic: Often utilizing high-quality European emulsions, VXS 200 is known for its punchy contrast and a color palette that favors warm tones and deep, saturated blues.
-
Moody Aging: With nearly two decades of age, expect beautiful color shifts—often leaning into earthy teals or warm ambers—and a softened, nostalgic grain.
-
Distinct Texture: The aging process adds a layer of "visual noise" that gives your photos a tactile, cinematic feel, ideal for storytelling and artistic projects.
-
Collector’s Choice: As a defunct house brand, this is a rare find for those who enjoy shooting "off-beat" labels that aren't the usual big-box names.
