Rollei Ortho 25 Plus 35mm (EXP: 05/26)

The fine grain on this film is honestly stunning for a 35mm stock, and even at ISO 25 the tonality in mid-greens feels almost creamy. I shot a whole roll in bright noon light and every brick texture held its own without any mush, exactly what I wanted for a slow technical film.

From the first roll, the sharpness blew me away — even at ISO 25 the detail in the highlights is incredible. Grain is virtually nonexistent, and the orthochromatic look gives the sky a dramatic, almost graphic feel. I’m already stocked up for summer shoots.

Shot this at box speed on a bright noon and the contrast is just gorgeous for architectural details. The orthochromatic look gives skies that deep, moody tone I've been chasing for ages.
