OrWO UN-54

[ChrisLivsey]

For UK based members probably the easiest is here:
https://ntphotoworks.com/shop/product/orwo-universal-negative-un54-100asa-100ft-30-5m-bulk-roll/
They sell spooled down as well, no commercial connection.

It works well whatever developer you use I find although I shot mainly Acros 100 this year in the sun I will return next year when the light returns:

Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 10 mins
White Gates

TD-201 (Anchell & Troop) 3 Mins A and 3mins B
Honda Goldwing

HC110 10 mins 1:60
Rydal Water Lake District UK

I see some lovely diffusion around the bright lights in post #11. I'm wondering if this is typical of this film? I've been on the look out for a film that glows, a B&W with a poor or non existent AHL, where does UN 54 sit on this scale?

Nothing on my roll has that glow you are looking for Ricoh, but I wasn't trying for that either.

The diffusion might be a characteristic of the lens, a Noctilux, shot wide open a f/1.0.

Yes, in this case. That lens is soft wide open, but not that soft, and that look is not an inherent characteristic of UN-54, which is imo, a very nice general purpose film.

I like ORWO 100, and I like this. It has a very likeable classic midtone in the image.

Lovely Larry. I have a 30m roll of this waiting for my bulk loader to finish with the Orwo N74. Despite the roll in it rattling around it's just dispensed a further 6 rolls and shows no signs of giving up.

I think this is a cracking film. Shame to pay the Lomography premium to get it in 120 though!

Souped in Rodinal 1:50
