I'll be waiting for the release of Ektachrome 120mm, (the slide film for photographers with particularly tall cameras.) and waiting, still waiting. This may be a long wait.

I guess it will be
- Ilford Ortho in 135 and 120 (so far only available in sheets for years)
- Multigrade V paper.
Cheers, Jan

So when is the big announcement? The 24th is already here, don't see anything new on their site. It's afternoon in the UK already.

I think an iso 80 film will be a great new choice!
Since I don't know the difference between a Pan film and an Ortho film, I'm hoping it will look like Pan F 50, but with a bit more speed.

Well, I'm not on any social media platforms so depend on vendor websites to view new or updated products. There is still nothing on Ilford's site about the new film.
So someday, hopefully these jokers will update their website and give a full rundown on any 'new' film they are introducing.
For living in the 'information age' it sure is surprisingly hard to get information.

I wasn't sure what the characteristics of ortho film were, but this discussion on the largeformatphotography forum is helpful.
in part:
"Orthochromatic film, or pan film with a #44 renders foliage and shadows in a way that is difficult otherwise. It is a specific "look" that comes from the red not being recorded and the blue and green predominating. Skies are lighter, shadows and green foliage are lighter, while reds are rendered almost black."
Another user found the film very good for portraiture.
NEW PRODUCTS ANNOUNCED!
Including 5th Generation ILFORD MULTIGRADE RC paper and ORTHO PLUS film in 135 and 120 formats.

ILFORD ORTHO PLUS
We are expanding the world’s biggest selection of black & white films with the addition of ILFORD ORTHO PLUS in 135 and 120 formats. As the name suggests this is an orthochromatic black and white film (all other ILFORD and Kentmere films are panchromatic) rated at ISO 80 in natural light and ISO 40 in Tungsten.
“Our Ortho film was designed as a technical, high-resolution copy film for negatives and has been available in sheet format for some time. We know photographers want choice and love to try new films and so we have now coated our Ortho emulsion onto an acetate base for 35mm cassettes and 120 rolls. We believe ORTHO PLUS offers superb photographic potential thanks to its fine grain and sharpness and some of the results we have seen are stunning.” Giles Branthwaite, Sales & Marketing Director.
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 are rendered darker than panchromatic films.
ILFORD ORTHO PLUS will be available from early November. Check your preferred stockist for pricing.

Looking forward to trying a roll of Ortho 120 for landscape in the Bessa II..

Thanks lynnb for the quick explanation. I guess I will try a roll sometime, but no rush.

Something else to try and lovely to see a real film rather than some long lost roll of X ray film found in a bunker in Austria...

Thanks for the link. For some reason I could not find it browsing their site. Looks interesting. Wonder how red is "deep red" safelight. Maybe they explain on the site. I'd like to try this material. I have a Yashica D and could run it in that.

It was the ortho! Could be interesting. It is an existing emulsion, but could be fun in roll film. Time to start digging into old photo books for filtration and usage recommendations.

Then I was looking for cheap 4x5 film, the cheapest was ortho.
I wouldn’t mind cheap 135 in bulk, be because even Kentmere is 50 now instead of 29.

So a film that gives results a bit like you've got a green/blue filter stuck on your lens?
Disappointing. I'd hoped for a film that is a bit less sensitive to blue so that clouds stand out a bit.

Plenty of film that do that, Ilford SFX has enhanced red sensitivity, so do the Rollei/Aviphot films. Continous tone ortho films on the other were only available in 4x5 and up.
