Profile notes
The Wolfen NC200 is the first ISO 200 colour negative film from the ORWO/InvisCoat factory in Bitterfeld-Wolfen—the same site where film production has continued since 1910. ORWO announced plans for the NC200 in October 2023, targeting a 2024 release; the film was formally teased via a holographic display at The Photography & Video Show in London in March 2025. Early examples (distributed via KONO and Optik Oldschool as pre-production runs) show significantly improved color accuracy over the NC400 and NC500, particularly with reds and greens, and without the green bias and desaturated shadows that characterize the ISO 400 Wolfen films. Like NC400 and NC500, the NC200 has no rem-jet layer and can be processed in either C-41 or ECN-2. Exact grain and sharpness characteristics of the final production run are not yet fully documented.
