Ilford Ortho Plus 80 120 Film

Description

Ilford Ortho Plus 80 120 Film

Ilford Ortho Plus 80 120 Film is a low-speed orthochromatic film. You can use it at 80 ISO in daylight or 40 ISO under tungsten lighting. Originally designed as a high-resolution copy film for negatives, it will give you a unique look with fine grain and sharpness.  

This film is orthochromatic, which means it is sensitive to blue and green light. As it is not sensitive to red, it can be handled under a deep red safelight. So, you can see what you are doing when developing the film. The lack of red sensitivity also means that reds and oranges are rendered darker with stronger contrast than standard panchromatic films. 

Ilford Ortho Plus can be developed to a normal contrast in Ilford ID-11 or Microphen. But you can also develop it to high contrast in Ilford PQ Universal.
