Ilford Ortho Plus 80 - 35mm Film

Love it, love it!

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

Great for travelling

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.

A remarkable film - in the right conditions.

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.
