It offers superb photographic potential thanks to its fine grain and sharpness. the blue and green sensitivity enables the film to be handled in red safelight and allows processing by inspection. This versatile film allows you to fine-tune the contrast by the choice of developer, the exposure given and the development time.

In photography though it is suited for landscape photography, the blue and green sensitivity of this emulsion enables the film to be handled in deep red safelight conditions making processing and inspection easier.

Nice eh…but many people are left wondering with exactly is Orthochromatic film?

Well, put simply it’s a bit like this, similar to old fashioned early 20th century emulsions it’s a type of photographic film that is sensitive to blue and green light but not red light.

It has the advantage in that it allows for handling under red safelight and creates a unique visual effect with reds appearing dark, it can offer more contrast than the panchromatic films we’re so used to.  So there!
