As a company Rollei is most famous for it's cameras - particularly the iconic twin-lens Rolleiflex - but this German-based company founded in 1920 has also had a long history of making B&W films. Unfortunately the parent company didn't survive the digital revolution of the 90s/00s but the brand survives today under licence to AgfaPhoto - who continue to support emulsions old and new.

For all of the flexibility that ISO 400 gives you, I generally prefer results from 100 or 200. Of course medium format smooths out the 400 quite a bit compared to 35mm, and I have to say, after getting a roll of this when buying a mystery B&W 120 bundle (the other two films being more pedestrian, but solid favourites) I could be converted…
The grain is noticeable, but in an “isn’t proper film photography full of character” kind of way, and on a dull-ish day still let me shoot at 1/125th and f/11 (give or take) with my Yashica 635.
The contrast surprised me (in a good way), and seemed particularly well suited to architectural shots.
Developed in ID-11 1+1 for 14 minutes (10s agitation every minute after the first full minute).
When I first shot and developed this film I wasn't too impressed. However having reviewed my results I changed my mind, I had picked the wrong subject. Where I feel this film works is shoot sad abandoned old industrial buildings on a dull day. The film gives the images a melancholic feel which suits the subject matter well. So I will buy more and chose my subjects wisely next time!

So soft
I didn't realise how soft and dreamy the images would come out but I love it! It works well in various lighting and I will definitely shoot some again.

Great film for my Holga
This film took some high-contrast pictures with my Holga 120N with some great grain, particularly in those parts of the picture that are sky.

Really imPressive eXposure latitude...
I doubt thats what RPX stands for, but I accidentally shot some images about 5 stops underexposed and still got usable shots developed at box speed. Very useful for idiots like me :)
