Beautiful sharpness and good tonal range. Does well in Pyro developers.
something different to try. I should have shot something red (flowers etc)
Cannot recommend this film enough, not made for portraiture but it's almost all I use! Go for it!
Wonderful film, highly recommend
I was very excited when Ilford announced this film, but a bit unsure as I hadn't shot a true orthochromatic film before. I shot a mixture of things and it demonstrated great versatility delivering wonderful sharpness, it lends itself to a little bit of post processing, either in a darkroom or a computer. Maybe increase the contrast plus a little dodging or burning but I was very very happy with the images.
I suppose the thing of note is the way the highlights bloom, it reminds me a little of Kodak HIE, except much more subtle.
I'd say probably don't use it for street as that isn't where it's strengths lie and at 80 ASA you might struggle with coming in and out of buildings but don't let the slow speed put you off it is more than capable.
That rings true in general, if you're coming from digital then 80 seems very slow but it's very adequate in most outdoor situations.
I'd really recommend this film as a first step into the more interesting B&W films. If you've shot delta and want to try something different then absolutely give Ortho 80 a try.
