Nice

I enjoyed shooting this, easy to use and good results. I will get more rolls to try as I have only shot one, but it is versatile and cheap.

Fantastic B&W film!

I shot a couple of rolls of Rellei Retro 400S in 120 as part of my submission to the Photozine Collective's latest zine: Opaque. I was really happy with the results, and also with the service from Analogue Wonderland (as usual). I tried some ICM, as can be seen in the attached photos.

Great film for my Holga

This film picked out the high-contrast detail in bright conditions on my Holga 120N.

Good film, but tough competition

I enjoyed shooting Rollei 400s, I found it reliable and contrasty. I think it’s rated a little low in terms of speed, I shot it at 200 (on some advice) and got pretty normal results. If I have an issue it’s more the competition - HP5 is more versatile and detailed, and Tri-X is more vibey, both at the same speed and similar price. All the same, I’d happily shoot it again.

Super Contrasty

This film is fun! It has a really strong contrast to it, gives that really moody dark feel. It was quite flexible, I over exposed a few shots and it seemed to handle the highlights pretty well!

Great Tonal Range

I shot a roll of Rollei Retro 400S on a recent visit to the Lancashire Mining Museum. It was a bright and sunny summer afternoon and I am very happy with how my shots turned out. The range of tones is rather expansive across the frame and I will be using it again.

A VERY Happy Birthday to me..!

I shot my latest roll of this wonderful film while visiting the East Lancashire Railway on my birthday last weekend, and boy did it give me a birthday treat.
I shot the film with my recently acquired Adox Golf 63 6x6 folding camera and developed it in HC110 (B) . Let the results speak for themselves....

So versatile!!

This film is fantastic!
It has never let me down no matter what I've asked of it....as long as I do my part, Rollei Retro 400s has always delivered.
My preferred development is 22 mins in Rodinal 1+50 at 21°C.

Nice and contrasty, good value

I ordered a roll of this in 120 as other reviews/info suggested it would offer strong contrast with a little bit of sensitivity into the IR range.
I took it to my local forest where the late afternoon sun was casting some nice areas of light and shadow, to really give it a test.
I developed it in Rodinal using the timings for 1+25 (I was too lazy to dedicate the 20-plus minutes to my usual 1+50) and this probably made the negatives even more contrasty.
Overall I really like the results - where the sun shins into the frame in one image there's almost a halation type effect around the tree-trunks.
Although the images are high in contrast, I found that I could edit this out of the scan to give a more natural result if needed.
I'll probably be trying this one again.

What is there not to like??

I've shot a few rolls of this film over the past year or so, both in 120 and 35mm, and it always delivers the goods.

Great all rounder

I love the way I can put this film in a vintage folding camera and not worry about the results. It delivered for me and I will be using it again.

Excellent

First used this about 15 years ago and it's even better now - my own fault meant I lost the first 8 shots on my C330 by not putting the lens lock on - doh - the four other shots were great though

Contrasty!

This is an ace film, but very contrasty. So check your metering - the blacks can be very black!
I've always found it gives a softened edge to contrasty areas which at first looks like a lack of definition, but on closer look you can still see lots of detail. But overall it's got quite a nice feel to it.

A real Retro look!

I recently went to stay with my great friend, Jim Graves, for my birthday weekend, and we shot a fair amount of film over a few days. I started this roll of Retro 400s on Saturday in Liverpool, and finished it the following afternoon in Buxton, Derbyshire.
I shot it in my Mamiyaflex C2 TLR, and the results speak for themselves, though I would add that I tend to go with a very slight over exposure with this film..a quarter to half a stop usually works well for me. I developed it in Rodinal 1+50 for 22 mins (minimal agitation) at 20°c.
If you've not tried Retro 400s, why not give it a try?...it's formulated to cut through the haze of summer, and it really does!

A film that seems to prefer good light

I've not shot a great deal of this film, but from what I can see it prefers good light rather than the more challenging, lower light situations. I've got a couple more rolls to work with, but I'll probably wait until we have a brighter day.
