This could prove to be interesting

Now, I don't know who makes this emulsion. But it looks like it's either completely new or made by one of the long gone film maker's equipment.

On the Russian website there is also a B&W film called A125 with sample shots. Unfortunately I cannot read Russian, but I believe somebody on this forum can?
-
The film is also described as not very “forgiving,” and the company recommends that it be shot at ISO 200 by photographers who “know what they’re doing.”
;D

Hmm wasn't this Svema Mikrat something or other? A bw cine duplicating film stock or microfilm-type
-
Microfilm tends to be very slow, so I doubt it could be that. And dupe film is usually low contrast to compensate for the natural increase in contrast that comes from each generation....
-
Anyone shot some of this film yet? I ordered a roll recently and if all goes as planned, I'll free up my Olympus Pen D tomorrow so I can start shooting mine.

I'd quite like to put a roll through my Zenit EM for that genuine Russian feel.
