Rollei Retro 80S - 35mm 36Exp

Started with a roll at box speed and then pushed one to 100, both came out with lovely fine grain and that classic Belgian-made look. The latitude really is forgiving—my metering was sloppy on a few frames and they still printed beautifully.

I’ve been shooting this at ISO 64 to get rich, fine grain, and the exposure latitude handled both midday sun and shady alleyways beautifully. Those 36 exposures give me plenty of room to bracket tricky shots. The Belgian production definitely shows in the consistent negative density from frame to fr

Finally got my hands on this since the old stock of Retro 100 ran out, and I’m relieved the grain looks just as smooth at ISO 80. The latitude is generous too—I accidentally shot a roll at 100 and it still came out perfectly printable.
