Greetings,
I'm almost done shooting up the old HP5 120 roll film that was in my freezer and am almost down to a sealed brick of ORWO NP27 film. This is an old style silver rich film with a 400 ISO. Images shot on this stuff, developed in Rodinal were fantastic. But, I want to save this stuff for worthy subject matter unless I can find something similar.
What films out there in 120 size in particular are like the older silver rich films? I used to shoot Tri-X and HP5 back in the '80s and early '90s but preferred the look of ORWO, which was not easy to come by in the USA. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg

Their classic pan and the efke emulsions are a great place to start.

do your job, then let go
Freestyle has a large selection of 120/220 film you may want to try some of the Fotokemika Efke films, nothing as fast as 400 but the 100 iso 35mm I shot was very nice.

For what its worth, the J&C people recently recommended the Foma 400 to me as the best "old look" film.
