This film has been out for some time and I'm still waiting to try it.
Not seen any great reviews of it - maybe most of us are sticking to Ilford Pan F+ and Fuji Acros/Kodak TMax, but Rollei films (? Maco production) seem to be more innovative than the big two and the smaller third mainstream film manufacturers.
Any feedback or views on this film? What's it good for, and how does it compare to the best of the current fine grain good tone films on the market? |

Thanks!
I remember you posting about it on your fabulous Konicas before
What are you developing it in:?
What about the curl? It drives me crazy with those curly Maco films which roll as tight as a spring.
No matter how good the filmis, I get scratches all over trying to undo them so that the nice negatives are all wasted.
Is there a way to get rid of the curl on the Rollei 80S? or is it there because of no anti-curl layer? |

I use a piece of heavy glass sold by our member www.scanassist.org, no matter how curly it keeps film flat. Actual favorite developer is Kodak D-76 or Microphen they are develop everything at same time stock dilution 20C 7 min., I can mix all kind of film in tank what I have from 40 yrs expired Ilford to fresh Fomapan, Orwo, Kodak etc works, tonality is nice , grain too. After each 4 rolls I extend time with 1 minutes. I did try it up to 30 rolls works, shelf life what I did try was 2 monthes. _________________ -------------------------------

Yup, it's great panchromatic film with comparable low grain and high resolution. I've also tried it a few times and have still some left.
Be careful, it's has a low dynamic range and is very contrasty! _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester

It's Agfa aerial film respooled, so top quality. Needs to be developed for an extended time in a less active developer to get the best out of it in tonality terms. I only shot two rolls, wish I could find some cheap. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |
