About this film

King Film Retro 80 Ortho 135/36 is black-and-white film rated at ISO 80 in 135 format with 36 exposures.

Image character

Orthochromatic rendering darkens reds, emphasises blue and green, and creates a vintage graphic look.

Best uses

Landscape, architecture, still life and creative portraiture.

Practical advice

Rate at ISO 80 in daylight. Skin and red details will not render conventionally; that is the film’s main expressive feature.

Processing: standard B&W processing. I recommend labelling the actual EI and any push/pull or scanning requests before handing the film to a lab.
