Rollei Retro 400s 120 Film

Pulled the trigger on a roll for a gloomy afternoon shoot and the latitude saved me—ISO 400 handled both deep shadow and bright sky without me fiddling with settings. Grain is charmingly gritty, not mushy, and the 120 format gives those big, detailed negatives I love to scan.

The ISO 400 speed handled the shifting light between shade and open field without me swapping settings once, which saved the roll. Negatives came out with that classic retro contrast I was hoping for when shooting handheld in late afternoon.

Shot a roll of this at a family picnic in shifting cloud cover, and the 400 ISO handled everything without me adjusting settings. The grain is noticeable but adds a nice texture to portraits, exactly what I wanted.
