Rollei Retro 80S Black & White Film is a gorgeous black & white film that offers fine grain, high sharpness, beautiful tones
• medium-speed super-panchromatic black and white film
• special coating to improve the transport properties of the film in the camera
• optimal flatness – can be used both in daylight and in artificial light without any restrictions
• due to the low blue-sensitivity of the emulsion, shots taken with a direct flash are less sensitive (this is based on using a direct flash with a colour temperature of approx. 6500K)
• extended red sensitivity up to 750 nm
• can also be used as an infrared film when used with filters
• extended exposure latitude (between 32 and 100 ISO)
• good for push/pull processing
• good tone reproduction – great maximum density
• transparent = ideal for scanning and as a slide
It is advisable to load in Rollei Retro 80S low light due to it’s acetate base

I’ve just shot off my first roll of Rollei 80s, WOW! This film packs a punch, its slight move into the infa red make a devastating photograph. I dev’ed mine in HC110 for 8 mins and got perfect results. Rated at 80 asa out of the box, this was a test shoot to see how this stock performs, and it does.This is a film I’ll be using a lot Many thanks Nik and Trick.

My favourite slow film. Beautiful dark tones and negatives are always beautiful and easy to scan.
For best results I use a yellow filter – with this you get wonderful glowing highlights.
Normally can be tricky to photograph with as highlights often blow BUT develop in Bellini Diafine and the results are perfecto.

I love this film, but just developed in PyroCat HD for the first time. We are now platonic soul mates
