Reflx Lab has introduced Diablo 100, a new experimental 35mm redscale photographic film with intense red, orange, and yellow tones.
The company launched the new film as a creative option for analog photographers who want images with a more dramatic and unpredictable color rendering.
The release is interesting because it strengthens the category of experimental 35mm films, at a time when analog photography continues to attract photographers looking for a distinctive result straight from the camera.
What Diablo 100 Is
Reflx Lab Diablo 100 is a redscale film, meaning a color photographic film that is exposed from the opposite side compared to normal use.
In this way, light first passes through the transparent base of the film and then reaches the light-sensitive emulsion. This process changes the color rendering and creates images with a strong red, orange, and yellow character.
Based on Lucky C200
The new film from Reflx Lab is based on Lucky C200, an ISO 200 color film, but it has been prepared for redscale use.
Reflx Lab offers it as Diablo 100, as redscale use affects exposure behavior and final rendering. The result is not intended to deliver natural color accuracy, but a more creative and intensely warm aesthetic.
Who It Is For
Diablo 100 is mainly aimed at photographers experimenting with 35mm analog cameras who want a different result without digital editing.
It is not a film for every subject or every lighting condition. As with most redscale films, the final result depends heavily on the light, the scene, and the exposure settings.
Samples and Practical Use
For the film samples, Reflx Lab worked with photographer Frankie Beena, who tested Diablo 100 in real-world conditions.
She noted that redscale films can be challenging to use properly, but when the right scene is found, they can produce striking images. This matches the nature of this film, which does not promise neutral rendering but a clearly creative character.
Availability and Price
Reflx Lab Diablo 100 is available in 135 format, meaning for 35mm cameras, in a 36-exposure roll.
Its price is set at $11.99 per roll. At the moment, there is no mention of a 120-format version.

What We Think
Diablo 100 is an interesting option for film photographers who want intense, unrealistic color directly from the shot. It is not an all-purpose film, but it can deliver a very distinctive result in scenes that suit its warm, dramatic, and experimental aesthetic.
