I bought a 70mm x 85 meter roll of the Agfa Aviphot Pan 200 on eBay and have been cutting it down and rolling it on 120 paper backs. I love it. Costing me under $2 to shoot and develop a roll of 120. I’ve been getting cool results

As someone who really loves Black & White films that are high contrast, this film is one of my favorites to shoot!

The Retro 400S was super contrasty when I shot it recently so I'd recommend that too.

Perfect timing, my first roll of Superpan arrives tomorrow

Nice! Have a good week!

Thanks! That's one more video that I've been waiting for, as well as the Double-X video. I got a roll of Superpan 200 in the fridge and I can't wait to try it for the first time!

I've some experience with Retro 80S and Retro 400S in 120 format. As you say, they're both contrasty films with pretty intense blacks. I tend to shoot them thru a red filter on sunny days to enhance the effect.

I just purchased a roll of this film stock, but have not yet shot it. However, I did appreciate your comments before using it, because otherwise, I might have made mistakes with this emulsion that could otherwise be prevented. I just discovered your channel recently and subscribed and really appreciate your commentary and information. Well done!

i have a roll of this sitting around. i’d heard you can get interesting results taking advantage of the IR sensitivity using an orange filter, which i plan to try

I hope you do more videos on infrared film in the future. I find it super fascinating and I plan to try it myself in the near future. I find the results to be really neat.

your videos are so good and you're very likeable i hope your channel gets more attention

I really like Superpan 200, I find 200 a really good compromise between 400 speed film and a lot of lower speed films, I bought a few roll of this stuff to see if I liked it enough to order a bulk roll of it, Needless to say between the contrast, grain, middle of the road film speed and the ability to have one film cover my general walk around photography as well as my portfolio work which is all B&W Infrared, I couldn't be happier. BTW, if you want to try Rollei Supergrain developer I believe Argentix over in Quebec carries it.

I would recommend on my own testing to shoot and develop the Rollei Superpan to ISO 120 or on low contrast situations on BoxSpeed or +1/3, with best regards from Germany

Rollei Superpan 200 is my favourite bw film, even more than Delta 100. That is mainly due to the high contrast and flexibility, but also it's low cost (€5,50 per roll in Europe vs €10+ for SFX200 or Delta 100). I've shot it as regular and as infrared, and it is just so nice and contrasty. Not as smooth as Retro 80, but I prefer a more punchy negative. I'll try my hand at reversal soon. Thanks for your nice video

Nice video! An interesting film that I haven't seen too many reviews on is Fomas Retropan 320 Soft. The one's I have seen are quite mixed. It would be interesting to see your take on the film stock.

Try using a dark red filter for some of that infrared look. The R72 will allow you to take it all the way into the infrared spectrum but a dark red filter with any of these "near" infrared films work's really well actually. I have a few rolls of the Rollei IR 400 black and white film and it looks really nice actually.

Didn't used this film, but I used Rollei RPX 400 film, and I like it 👍

Ilike Rollei Retro 80s in 120 for my old box cameras, folders, pseudo TLRs and "cheapo" TLRs -- the ISO is a good match for the least adjustable of those cameras, and it produces, to my eye, a good vintage look that matches the cameras well. Shot some SuperPan 200 in 35mm some years back -- trying to find the scans now to see how it did....

i recently shot a rollei ir 400 with an hoya r72. that one also has a really thin, clear base. didn't know superpan 200 had near-ir capabilities as well. would def love to see you cover the topic

Exact same film!

I really have no interest in color photography- even less so in analogue. So a video on black and white film is always appreciated

My takeaway here: I need some better hair product with more hold. Killin it.

Could you do a roll review of Rollei 400 Infrared?

I enjoyed this. What ASA/ISO do they recommend if you use an R72 infrared filter. I know with the 400 infrared with the filter it is shot at 3 ASA/ISO

I overexposed by 4 or 5 stops with the r72 filter and got some very nice shots with the superpan 200.

would you recommend the 80S as a slower film to complement tri-x, or do you think there are other options with a closer visual match?

@AnalogResurgence

I like 80s and it's a nice lower iso film for sure, but I would say it gives a higher contrast then tri-x. There's T-Max 100, but the grain is different between T-max and Tri-x so it might not be what you're looking for. I would say checkout Ilford PanF which is a 50iso stock that you might find a little more inline with the look you get with Tri-X!

Speaking of reversal processing, what do you suppose the probability is that we'll Rollei Crossbird again?

@AnalogResurgence

2 жыл бұрын

Probably not likely at all. From what I know Crossbird was some sort of Agfa reversal film that was discontinued prior to crossbird being released and was just remaining stock that Rollei put out. So the original source for crossbird is probably several years out of production now.

I have horrible experience connected with this film. Do you have any trusty development procedure to get repeatable results ?

Can you stop saying rolleee? Please?
