First time with Ortho and haven't shot many black and white film rolls. One or two photos came out well but overall not as expected. Was keen to use it on landscapes

This is definately a "character film" - and I love it! I shoot all sorts of things but I am always looking to add drama into my photography and this provides that in spades.

I have shot this roll using a converted Zenza Bronica 135N back into a panoramic back and then set off to find some interesting subjects to photograph. I err towards landscape and travel photography for my "art" and architecture and interiors for my "work" to give a bit of contect as to what I am looking for in a film. This has provided me with some really nice, graphic, photographs with a reasonably fine grain and great contrast. It likes light... loads of light... but even in the gloom of the church photo (taken in the rain) it delivered the goods.

I gave this an outing at Pains Hill Park in Cobham, Surrey, on a bright, sunny day at the end of May and, wow, it really performed for me. Lovely rich blacks and an innate eeriness that made PH's Gothic Tower seem even more gothic. It seems to respond really well to bright light, deep shadows and contre-jour picture-taking.

Having shot the 120 version of this, and thinking it wasn’t as ‘Ortho’ as other orthochromatic films I’ve shot, it ‘did’ have a nice contrast. So knowing I was going to Mull, and possibly having a trip to Staffa in particular, I decided to give this a go in my 70 year old Wray Stereographic camera.

I still don’t think it darkens the reds in quite the same dramatic way as, say, Rollei Ortho, but I got the contrast I wanted. Wee bit noisy, but I liked the rough effect this all produced.

Picked up this film in a mystery box and was unsure at first given the low ISO, but it performed beautifully on an overcast day at box speed, and did even better when given a little light. I think I'll still prefer HP5+ or even FP4+ but this is a great little film with superb contrast.

Good for distance and closer shots. Fine grain.

An incredible film for portraits and street photography. High contrast and such an interesting look.

This was my first time shooting an ortho film. It’s a lot less flexible than some of the other Ilford films, but when you hit that sweet spot it’s fantastic. It can be a tad too contrasty in strong sunlight or in a scene with a lot of white. I’ll definitely be using it again in future though.

Great to be able to use this film under a safelight. Helps me make sure I'm actually loading the reel properly!

It's a truly different film stock that isn't the most flexible, but what it does, it does really well

I was skeptical to try this film as I don't usually use iso's this low although I chose it as I was travelling and didn't want my film to be affected by airport security and I am really pleased with the results. The film was completely unaffected by airport scanners and I got some nice photos.

I've just finished developing these negatives and I think this film is very nice. It's taken me a few attempts to learn to shoot with it and get good results.

A wonderful, if idiosyncratic film. It's incredibly sharp and has a very pleasing tonal range. Being orthochromatic is isn't sensitive to red light which has pros and cons. On the plus side it can be developed with a red safelight which can be helpful. It is also highly sensitive to green and gives wonderful separation of leafy, woodland scenes. On the downside it high sensitivity to blue light makes blue skies almost white - great if the like bland skies. I rarely do so tend to exclude the sky. It's my favourite film for shooting woodland scenes, particularly in spring.

Love the look of this film. Has a good contrast and captures a lot of deatail.

What a lovely film, that delivers punchy scans with contrast.

Worth having a just-in-case roll in your stash because it delivers its own distinctive look.
