A brand new film from FOMA - Ortho 400 is an orthochromatic B&W film, a little different to your more common panchromatic B&W - great for artistic portraits or detailed landscape & nature shots!

From Foma spec sheet:

FOMA Ortho 400 is a special orthochromatically sensitized black and white negative film. It is characterized by good resolving power and contour sharpness, fine grain and high maximum density of the silver image. Its high optical sensitivity enables to take photographs even in adverse light conditions and using shorter exposure times. The nominal optical sensitivity of the film is ISO 400/27°, but its wide exposure latitude provides very good results even when overexposed by 1.5 EV (ISO 160/23°) and underexposed by 2 EV (ISO 1600/33°). In case of exposure by lower chromaticity temperature (2700-2400 K) than daylight is recommended moderate adjustment of the exposure by 0,1-1 EV, especially by underexposure of the film (El 800 ISO and higher) with an absence of modification of development time (push process). Thanks to its typical tonal character, this orthochromatic type of the film is particularly suitable for artistically stylized portrait photography. FOMA Ortho 400 has a high level of the spectral sensitivity in green part of the visible spectrum, which is particularly advantageous when taken photographs of the landscape motifs and sceneries (forest greenness of the leaves of trees, bushes, etc.).

Adam ★★★★★

The grain is beautifully tight even at 400 speed, and since it's orthochromatic, reds go dark while greens stay bright—perfect for those moody landscape shots with dramatic skies. Just remember to meter carefully if you're used to pan film, but the tonal control is worth it once you get the hang of

Natalie C. ★★★★★

The way it renders skin tones in portraits is unlike anything I've shot before—that orthochromatic look gives faces this soft, almost silvery quality. Loaded a roll for a landscape shoot too and the fine detail in the clouds and bark came through beautifully. It's definitely a film that rewards a li

George ★★★★★

Finally got to try an orthochromatic film for portraits - the skin tones are surprisingly distinct compared to standard panchromatic stocks. The fine grain even in medium format really brings out texture in clothing and hair.
