The ORWO N75 is a panchromatic ISO 400 B&W film from ORWO (Filmotec GmbH, Wolfen, Germany), available in bulk 35mm cinema rolls and respooled by specialized labs. Moderate grain, natural contrast, balanced tonal range — close to Kodak Tri-X in character. Compatible with all standard B&W developers.

+ Moderate grain for ISO 400

Limites

− Mostly available in bulk — needs respooling by a lab

− No DX coding on artisanally respooled versions

ORWO N75 is the high-speed version of ORWO's B&W cinema line, successor to the legendary historic N74plus. Filmotec, the heir to Wolfen's photographic production (formerly East German Agfa/ORWO), continues to make these emulsions for the global cinema industry. Film photographers can access it through labs like SFL (Moscow) that respool it into 35mm cartridges.
