Ilford Ortho Plus B&W Negative Film 8x10" (25 Sheets)is a medium speed black and white negative orthochromatic film that is especially well-suited for continuous tone copy or reproduction work, as well as for half-tone, technical, and forensic applications. It has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 80/20° when exposed under daylight conditions, or ISO 40/17° when exposed under tungsten lighting, and can be developed in standard black and white chemistry. Additionally, since the film is only sensitive to blue and green light, it can be handled under red safelight conditions and developed by inspection for precise processing control. Its high-resolution, fine grain structure and long tonal range also make it ideal for producing faithful reproductions of original artworks and documents, as well as for photomicroscopy.

This item is one box of 25 sheets of 8 x 10" film.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can i develop ilford ortho, using cinestill Df96?

A: The manufacture of Cinestill DF96 Monobath for Black & White Film lists many films as compatible. They do not list that film. It is possible that it can work fine with that film. But you will need to experiment on the dilutions. This is the information on that developer and possible dilutions, https://bit.ly/30uzYuR . And this is the developers and dilutions Ilford list for that film, https://bhpho.to/33lxT6c .

Q: 2. Does all the film come in a single bag, or are there multiple bags inside of the box of 100?

A: Four bags x 25 sheets each.

Q: 3. Are 100 films separated by 25 films?

A: Yes, 4 packs of 25.

Q: 4. Is this a continuous-tone film, or a "lith" type emulsion (very high contrast) for repro work?

A: The Ilford Ortho Plus Black and White Negative Film (12 x 20", 25 Sheets) is Orthochromatic B&W Negative Film. It is high contrast. Ideal for Tech. & Half-Tone Applications.

Q: 5. Does this film fit a standard 5x7 inch film holder?

A: Yes this film does fit a 5 x 7 film holder.

Q: 6. Does anyone know if the bags in the box are sealed and/or lightproof?

A: Not sealed. folded over and light proof. Still, open only in the dark.

Q: 7. Someone can informe me about the reciprocity of the Ilford Ortho Copy + 4x5? i want to use this film with a pinhole camera.

A: On page two of the following PDF, there is a graph that shows the amount of time you would need to add to various metered exposure times. http://bit.ly/1V4RhsS

Q: 8. First time I've bought film not in a roll. Using it in a pinhole camera. How does it come packaged? Is each sheet in its own lightproof sleeve or is it all bundled in one lightproof sleeve? I ask because I need to put it into 5x7 film holders in the dark and I want to know what to expect. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have a darkroom with a red light bulb I can dim way down. Should that be okay for processing in trays?

A: Sheet film is packaged in a trip box..... The 25 sheets of film will be in a black plastic bag and then contained within a box with an additional lid. The combination of black plastic bag and the double-boxing keeps the film light tight. Sheet film comes with a notch code in the top corner. If you are loading your holders with the opening flap at the top; the notch code should be in the top right corner when loading. Film is panchromatic so it must be loaded and processed in complete darkness. Your red safelight can only be used when making contact prints.

Q: 9. Hi, is this trimmed for use in 4X5 film holders?

A: It is sized as standard 4x5 film for film holders.

Q: 10. Will the film give me a positive or a negative of the image?

A: in normal development it is negative, if you really want a positive you can send it to dr5.

[1.34 lb] It looks like in the photo, I'm very happy with this purchase! 5

[1.34 lb] It's great that Ilford and B&H are still providing this high-quality ortho film. The quality is still excellent. For those unfamiliar, ortho film is similar to conventional medium-speed, continuous-tone B&W films for pictorial photography, except that it lacks the dye that makes the film sensitive to red light. Ortho film can thus be handled and processed under a red safelight, which is especially useful for folks new to the craft. It also allows one to develop by inspection, getting exactly the desired density and contrast. Note that the lack of red sensitivity causes a peculiar rendering of some subjects, especially skies, similar to many 19th century photographic processes. One word of caution: Some safelights are less safe than others. You'll want to perform a fog test of this film under your safelight to make sure it's safe. I found that my safelight, which is a bit orange and much brighter than needed, did badly fog this film until I added a baffle to cut the brightness. 5

[80] If you like film stocks with fine grain, but you want that cool orthochromatic look, this is the film to go. In a well-lit day I can take the best looking pictures. I added some of them here. 5

[1.34 lb] This is a great deal for anyone wanting to try out large format without going broke. I shot this film at ISO 3. The final contrast depends on the developer and technique. If using D-76, dilute stock solution 1:4. With Dektol, dilute about 1:10 or 1:20. With Quintol, try 1:10. The film is not sensitive to safelight, so it can be developed by inspection. If you dilute Dektol too much, you will get film fogging. If too concentrated, the contrast will be too high. I have read that pre-flashing this film can make it behave almost like a normal film, just do a google search on this. The final grain size is very sensitive to developer type. D-76 seems to produce the finest grain, but I still need to test with 1:4 dilution as recommended in some literature. The attached negative was developed in Quintol 1:10 (paper developer). The emulsion is very sensitive to scratching, so be careful when handling it. The other ortho film option is Royal Regent hard dot film, about half the price of this. 5

[80] Very nice contrast and shapes 5

Paul L	01/06/2024
[25 Sheets] …and this film is contrasty. Very crisp and clean look. A nice change from my usual softer choice, Foma 200. Ortho 80 may become my go-to black & white film stock when I desire a not so much grainy look. 5

[25 Sheets] This is a quality Ortho film. 5

JAY c.	15/05/2024
[25 Sheets] Slow, but ultra-fine-grained - this is the film I choose for my b&w still-life's! I will also try shooting portraits on it. I usually rate it at the box ISO of 25 and send it in @to have it processed in to b&w slides . . . they always come out BEAUTIFULLY!!!Now that B&H is selling 25-sheet boxes, it's even more affordable. 5

Karey	11/05/2024
[1.34 lb] High quality and fun film to work within the darkroom. Easy to process and print. Perfect for using with a pinhole camera, large format camera, or alternative processes. I highly recommend this film over other competitors. 5
