Rollei Ortho 25 Plus - 120

The ultra-fine grain on this ISO 25 stock is unreal for 120 format, and that special coating really does make it glide through the winder without any snagging. It's slow, so I had to break out the tripod, but the tonal range in bright sunlight made every shot worth the extra effort.

I’ve been shooting this roll in my medium format camera and the orthochromatic sensitivity gives a really crisp, old-school look that I love. The low ISO 25 speed forces me to slow down and be thoughtful with each shot, which is perfect for landscapes.

The coating really does help it feed smoothly through my old Mamiya, no more jams. The fine grain on this ISO 25 stock is incredible for scanning, I’ve gotten some tack-sharp landscapes out of it. Perfect when you have time to work a tripod.
