King Film Retro 80 Ortho

ISO 80 specialty fine all levels

~10–13 €

A hand-rolled orthochromatic ISO 80 B&W film — insensitive to red, rendering red and orange tones darker than a panchromatic film, boosting contrast. A look reminiscent of early 20th-century photography. Packaged in bulk, respooled into recycled cartridges. Standard B&W development.

Orthochromatic film is a hallmark of pre-1920 photography — insensitive to red, it gave strong contrast and dramatic skies. King Film Retro 80 recreates this historic look with a modern film. The orthochromatic rendering gives portraits a very particular skin texture — close to vintage early-cinema photographs.
