As a company Rollei is most famous for it's cameras - particularly the iconic twin-lens Rolleiflex - but this German-based company founded in 1920 has also had a long history of making B&W films. Unfortunately the parent company didn't survive the digital revolution of the 90s/00s but the brand survives today under licence to AgfaPhoto - who continue to support emulsions old and new.

For more information about the brand check out our bio of Rollei

Versatile and stylish

Even with a lens issue, I managed to get some decent shots with this film - it's very versatile and has distinct and vintage look.

This was my second ever roll of film, so pretty new at this. Read a lot of positive reviews for the film and thought I would give it a go, it looks really beautiful.

Possibly my favorite film

I hate to think how much of this stuff I've used over the years in both 35mm and 120, I use it for everything, a great all-around film, with good sharpness and contrast. It seems to work ok with all the developers that I've tried, Rodinal, HC-110, and my favorite D23 replenished, I rate the film at 250 and develop for 7 minutes in the D23 @ 20C. You can even stick an R72 filter on the camera and get near-infrared results.

My favourite film stock

A great all rounder, contrasty, pleasing grain. Responds well to filters and different developers

Grain for days

I bought a couple of rolls of this with the specific plan to put it, and my new little Olympus trip 35, through their paces. I went pretty harsh and mean on them both, shooting directly into the sun, in places where there was almost no light and in some ideal lighting scenarios too. What i can say is this was a really fun film to see the results of and even in ideal light, there's a lot of great, grainy texture (if you like that kind of thing). When you put it under pressure there's really harsh grain in the highlights that creates some great effects and in low light the shadows are actually quite soft and creamy, which i didn't expect from this film. I'll be shooting it again for sure.
