Ilford Ortho Plus is a medium speed black and white negative orthochromatic film that is especially well-suited for continuous tone copy or reproduction work, as well as for half-tone, technical, and forensic applications. It has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 80/20° when exposed under daylight conditions, or ISO 40/17° when exposed under tungsten lighting, and can be developed in standard black and white chemistry. Additionally, since the film is only sensitive to blue and green light, it can be handled under red safelight conditions and developed by inspection for precise processing control. Its high-resolution, fine grain structure and long tonal range also make it ideal for producing faithful reproductions of original artworks and documents, as well as for photomicroscopy.
This item is one roll of 120 format film.

Really, Really Good

Easily a new favorite for portraiture. I love the classic look it produces in tungsten light (but be sure to drop it down to ISO 40 in tungsten light).

I tried this film after developing neuropathy in my fingers. The use of a red light enabled me to load 120 film again. I was hesitant to try an ortho film due to reports of pale skies. A medium yellow filter can help in some cases. Developers Ilford ilfosol 3 and pyro cat have worked fine. I have posted a few images, one showing a mechanical Vignette was a polarizing and Yellow stacked together.

On landscapes I have used Yellow filters with this film. Does orange offer much, or is it too close to red?
An orange filter will add significantly more contrast to the image than a yellow filter with Ilford Ortho Plus Black and White Negative Film (120 Roll Film).

I've mostly used Ilfotec DDX, which is one of the two Ilford recommends for best quality overall (the other being ID-11) and I've been pretty happy with it. I've also tried Xtol and it's okay but I like DDX with this one better.
