[size=4]Hello![/size]
[size=4]I’ve got a few questions about the ADOX ORTHO PL 25:[/size]
[size=4]- Is it the same as the Rollei equivalent?[/size]
[size=4]- Or is it already manufactured in Germany (Bad Saarow)?[/size]
[size=4]- Is it also available as RF 120, or are there plans for such a version? [/size]
[size=4]- Which developer is suitable for pictorial (“halftone”) photography? Rollei Low Contrast? Or is the film not actually that steep?[/size]
[size=4]Best regards![/size]

Hi, I can’t say for certain whether this is equivalent to Rollei/Maco, but at the time I couldn’t spot any differences between Maco and ADOX Ortho 25 in 135 format.
With a 7.5-minute exposure in A49/Atomal 1+2, my records show I achieved N+1 at ISO 16. Zone VIII at 1.55 logD, so quite steep but not a problem, and wonderful to work with in terms of image quality.
Wonderful white sky, very fine grain, excellent shadow detail!
At 10 minutes, N+1 2/3, ISO 20, Zone VIII was already 1.8.
