ORTHO PLUS 120

ORTHO PLUS in 120 format brings its unique orthochromatic vision to the larger canvas of medium format, where the ethereal skin tones and darkened reds can be explored with the depth and detail that only a larger negative provides. Portrait photographers working with ORTHO 120 describe the results as haunting, luminous, and utterly distinct from anything panchromatic film can produce — skin takes on a porcelain quality, blue eyes lighten dramatically, and the overall impression is of an image from another era, made with modern materials and your own creative intent. The ability to handle the film under red safelight is preserved on 120, though tray-developing roll film is less common than sheet film — you can still develop by inspection using a tank system or by cutting and tray-processing individual frames. For fine-art and conceptual photographers, ORTHO 120 offers a visual signature so distinctive that it essentially functions as a creative collaborator — the film does things you did not anticipate, and those surprises often become the best images on the roll. We recommend it for photographers who have mastered conventional black-and-white and are looking for a genuinely new creative challenge, and for anyone drawn to the aesthetic of early photography who wants to make it their own.
