ILFORD ORTHO PLUS is an orthochromatic black and white film. Designed as a high-resolution copy film for negatives, ORTHO PLUS offers superb photographic potential thanks to its fine grain and sharpness.



Ideally suited for landscape photography, the blue and green sensitivity of this emulsion enables the film to be handled in deep red* safelight conditions making processing and inspection easier.



Its lack of red sensitivity also means that reds and oranges in your frame are rendered darker with stronger contrast than standard panchromatic films (all other ILFORD and Kentmere films are panchromatic).



ILFORD ORTHO PLUS is DX coded for ISO 80 for daylight / natural light shooting. For tungsten work a manual ISO setting of 40 should be used. Alternatively, a 1 stop exposure correction can be made. Whether shooting at ISO 80 or 40, it can be processed as standard. Development times can be found in the technical data sheet or on the inside of the film cartons.



*Please do not use with an amber safelight as this can cause fogging.

Hazel G. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised how this orthochromatic film handles reds—it gives portraits a really unique, moody look compared to standard panchromatic stocks. The fine grain and sharpness are exactly what I needed for copying old negatives, and the 36 exposures give plenty of room to experiment.

Brian ★★★★★

I’ve been using this for copying old negatives, and the fine grain really brings out details I missed before. The orthochromatic look adds a subtle, classic contrast that’s hard to get with other films. Excellent sharpness for archival work.

Henry ★★★★★

Finally got to shoot a roll in overcast light and the orthochromatic look gives such unique skin tones—way different from standard panchromatic film. The fine grain and sharpness really came through even in the shadows.
