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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
