Ilford Ortho Plus 80 120 Film

The blue and green sensitivity gives landscapes this lovely, old-school contrast that I haven’t gotten from other films I’ve tried, and it handled a bright midday shoot beautifully. I’ve been shooting 120 for years and this one’s become a staple in my bag—the tonal range on clouds is just gorgeous.

The blue and green sensitivity really does something special with grass and skies—my landscape shots came out with that classic ortho look without any weird filters. It also handled the darkroom safe light beautifully, which made loading and processing a breeze.

Finally got a chance to shoot with this on a cloudy day and the lack of red sensitivity gave the skies such a deep, dramatic texture. The fine grain on 120 really holds detail in the greens and blues.
