Great winter landscapes

Used this in the Highlands in the winter and the dramatic results have made this film one of my favourite B&W films. Looking forward to trying this in different situations.

A good, fun, inexpensive film

A fairly high resolution film with well-controlled grain. Being sensitive to infra-red, the addition of a red filter (and not even an IR rated filter at that) can result in nice snowy white IR effects without needing long exposures. It works fine without the filter too and performs well under a wide range of shooting conditions. It seems to be fairly forgiving too. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone who likes B&W photography and who has not tried it.

My favourite right now!

I've been shooting this quite a bit recently, both in 35mm and 120, and I'm really liking the results. I've seen some threads on reddit etc. where people are finding it difficult to get good results from, but I've not had any problems. I like the good amount of contrast, and the tones have a certain "something" I don't get with the more standard HP5. It thrives in bright light with lots of contrast.

Good results

I got good results from this film stock, I'm new to using B&W film and found this film good in many different scenarios I have been trying out

Unexpectedly amazing

I mean, I should have read all the other praise this film was getting and I wouldn't of been so surprised!

This film (especially for its price) is spot on. Good indoors, good outside in either light or dark. I will 100% be using it again

Nice Surprise

Had no idea what to expect from this film stock. It came in a mystery box and it was only when I bought a Pentax Zoom 90 WR that I got around to using it. I loved it and will be buying it again, very happy with level of detail and sharpness. Recommended

Great contrast and grain without sacrificing detail

Great contrast and more grain that a hungry mouse's idea of Heaven. The classic high contrast look doesn't come at the expense of detail, though: there's plenty of detail in even the darkest shadows. Good exposure latitude and a great price.

Great with an orange filter

I shot a roll of Rollei 400s with an orange filter on a bright and sunny summer afternoon and I like the results I got. Nice contrast between the blue sky and the clouds and deep blacks and great tonal range across the frame. I shall be using it again.

Alternative to HP5

First time I have used the Rollei 400S and I'm pleased with the results. I was playing around with different lenses, exposures, and a filter. The film was shot at ISO 400 with a yellow Y2 filter. I have got to admit, I love a dark, moody pic and I do like the results HP5 pushed to 1600 yield; However, this film gives something different. Good contrast plus a lot of the fine grain detail were visible on some images. I'd use this film again.

Becoming a favourite

As an alternative to HP5, this film is quickly becoming a favourite for me. It gives great contrast and mild tones even in less favourable light. It also pushes really well.

Retro indeed

Rollei is becoming more and more my favourite brand for black and white pictures. Contrast, latitude, versatility, shadow play. Amazing during both day and evening shoots.

Good contrast and less grain than expected

I shot this film in a Minolta X300s and developed in 510 Pyro. The film has a great look, with good contrast and well contained grain. Sharp detail is good to see.

Impressive grain and contrast

I've only just discovered this film and I have to say I am impressed. The contrast give images punch and the grain is much lass than I expected for a 400 iso film.
