Thanks for reviewing Ribsy:) Using the ORTHO PLUS with a yellow filter may help solve the 'sky' issue. We're with you. The 'shed' image is our favourite.
@@harvellm Thanks Matthew - This is the part of the job that we enjoy. getting to talk to film users and printers who are actually using our products. :)
Hi, I am SFLABs follower, and I have to say - don't be too much bothered by the fact, that you clean the lens with your sleeve :) We, who buy cameras for shooting, do it ALL. Those who buy gear to show it off, use caps :D There is a big leeway how much the lens can be scratched before it's visible on the pictures. Believe me, it is quite a lot! Keep shooting, worry less about the gear, more about composition :) awesome channel btw. Keep shooting and good light!
I've had a roll of Ortho in the fridge for quite some time that I've been too afraid to use because I was worried the results would be too weird. This video is inspiring me to finally try it.
Cleaning my lens the same way haha ! The blacks on that brick building and the shadow details on the bolted up doorway are awesome! I gotta shoot some architecture on ortho soon!
That was a excellent adventure with a field trip, good company and nice photos taken! I have a 120 roll on my freezer and I am hoping that this virus mess calms down towards later spring early summer so that there is less to think about and just going for a photowalk and having fun!
Thanks! It was great fun. A bit nostalgic when I saw the bent trees, reminding me od the Divi-Divi trees of my childhood in the Caribbeans, all in one direction because of the trade winds. B&W hid the give away Northern green. You gave me some tips how to try Ortho myself.I think the season for this film is getting better.
I loved the crossover! Seems like ya'll had a lot of fun! In regards to the Ortho, admittedly I haven't shot it in roll form but I've used it on occasion in sheets. I like the look for sure and when it works it really works yep! I had been chasing a particular composition and couldn't get it to look quite right until I gave Ortho a go and BAM! I got exactly the look I was going for.
Great video and collaboration with Roger! Thanks for sharing :-) I've used 120 ortho a couple times and got some really nice results doing portraits with blue eyed people. Like your sky the eyes went a lighter tone and added a sort of vintage tintype feel. Also shot some London cityscapes too which I remember liking.
Thank you for this! I recently bought some Ilford Ortho based on a review seen at the Film Photography Project's website. You've prompted me to get off my butt and shoot it, like tomorrow!
I'd love to take this stuff out on a trip to Australia one day. The depth of red in all the soil and rocks in the landscapes in Oz was one of my defining memories of my time out there and I'd love to see what the Ortho would do with it.
I've been shooting some Ortho recently. Mostly 35mm but I recently shot it on 120 and I love it! It's easily become my favorite b/w film. I send my rolls to get developed at a lab and the results I get look very different from yours, but still super cool. I loooove the way it looks on people's skin, so definitely give it a try on portraits. You're definitely right about the skies and the price but I find it worth it.
I have used it once and I liked it , it think it’s great if you want more punchier images if they have a lot of red in them to go black. I will use it again but like you said it’s more of a specialty film but a good one to have in your bag
2:00 I took a hovercraft from Boston to Provincetown during a storm. It was not smooth at all. At least half of the passengers got seasick, I almost did.
I used the film years ago but I just started shooting large format again in the last few years. Ortho film is great and I have some nice images from college on it. God only knows college was damn near 30 years ago. Like I said before get some Kodak tech pan film off eBay and shoot that.
This takes me back. Shoot ortho as contrasty as possible then print on super hard paper that had a strong colour died through it. Can you say 70s, I knew you could 😂
The one time I used ortho+ was 35mm developed in Diafine and the tones made all the textures in trees etc look different and interesting like a chalk drawing. There's a unique magic there. Can you get the same results with regular film and a green filter?? Maybe similar in some ways but not the same. And yeah wow it's too expensive.
Great video been trying to teach myself b/w photography for the last 1.5 to 2 years it is amazing what you can learn from practice even in rhe darkroom the same boring negative will look totally different after some burning a dodging
I knew who your "special guest" was as soon as I saw that tree in the thumbnail :) I've never tried a true orthochromatic film, only Fuji Acros who's almost in that category. Otherwise, technically it's like shooting B&W with a blue filter : brightens the blues and darkens the reds tones. Sometimes I wonder why most of those who seem to dislike the blue filter go nuts with this kind of ortho films...
Hey, thanks for the video. I like Roger’s work too and he led me to you. Quick question: what easel are you using. Maybe it went by fast but I didn’t catch it. I like the borders. I have an old 4 blade Saunders and it has some issues.
I really like Ortho, I've shot a few rolls and find it great for street photography. Like you, I wonder about the price. I'd shoot a lot more Ortho if it was a similar price to HP5+ or FP4+.
Hey Doing Film Things, thanks for explaining what the ortho film does. Can we say this film replaces a red filter? if this can be said about this film, do you thing a cloudy sky will add a more dramatic feeling to the pictures vs having a flat sky from a sunny day? It would be nice to see the test being done on a cloudy day ... I am sure this is test is not hard to achieve in England or in the west coast of Canada where I am writing you from ;-)
This film can be developed under red light!! just like the paper!!!!!! so you can see the image comming from the developer, and getting clear in the fixer, thats why its mor expensive ;)
Hi, Did you have any curling issues with this stock? I shot a roll yesterday with same procedures as normal (5yrs) but the curl was terrible along the short side
You could probably change the contrast on multi-coated paper when you do traditional black and white prints. You could also vignette by burning. Have you took the negative into the traditional dark room? @leicar2d2 #filmdevelopingusergroupFacebook
Red filter would result in pretty much no image at all as ortho is insensitive to red wavelengths (which is what you get with a red filter, duh) and a yellow filter works well but results will be different than with pan film.
ok, hold on, waitwaitwait...out of all the beers you could get from the Czech Republic, you get a fucking Staropramen? Grind your lens with some sand for that :D
This Episode should be called: Doing Film things like a Boss 😆
Hahaha makes sense!
THIS! 😎😂
Is there a link there? :-D

thanks for the comment! i will definitely give some filters a try -- its been a long time coming 😊
Ok,the fact that Ilford proper is commenting and offering advice : big bonus for Ilford and this channel!!!!

Haha glad to here! Any camera who is lucky to be owned by me better be ready to get dirty! Haha
Absolutely Danny. We had banter over that. We all do it.
I've had a roll of Ortho in the fridge for quite some time that I've been too afraid to use because I was worried the results would be too weird. This video is inspiring me to finally try it.
Awesome! Yea give it a go
Love your content. Roger is a top bloke. Perfect partnership.
haha he really is!
Cool vid. Reminds me of pan F.
Thanks! Yea I’ve never tired pan F but def need to
I dig it - two of my fave film channels. I will try some ortho and I have some jch400 in my fridge. Waiting for my CLA.
Yea def give it a shot
So cool, I watched Roger's video first ... cool to see your side of the story!!!
Great! Thanks for watching!
Cleaning my lens the same way haha ! The blacks on that brick building and the shadow details on the bolted up doorway are awesome! I gotta shoot some architecture on ortho soon!
Yea def! Thanks 😀
Con todo Ribs! Buen video con Roger! You just shoot film with a boss like a boss
haha yessir!
Getting ready to shoot my first roll in a Wester Autorol 6x6 folding camera I just picked up from Japan.. Good video. Nice shots. Like Roger's beard.
Nice! Good luck 💪🏽
That was a excellent adventure with a field trip, good company and nice photos taken!
I have a 120 roll on my freezer and I am hoping that this virus mess calms down towards later spring early summer so that there is less to think about and just going for a photowalk and having fun!
yeaaa! photowalks are great fun and nice way to relax
A day with just the blokes! Looks like a bloody good time! 😁 Just a couple of cheeky tarts doing film things! 😄👍🏾
Exactly! Haha cheeky tarts
@@ribsy 😆

yea! summer time is the good time for some ortho
I’ve never shot with ortho but now I think I’m going to!!
yea def give it a shot! i liked it!
Great cross-over. I just watched Roger's and now yours. I'm now waiting for Roger's visit to London.
niceeee thanks for watching!
Great video.😊👍📷
thanks for watching!
Great stuff Ribsy! Roger is awesome. Great collaboration.
Thanks for watching

nice! def worth a shoot
Looks like it would be perfect for decay/abandoned photos! Sweet!
yea i think so!
A crossover episode that really is great fun to watch
Thanks for watching! We had a nice time
Epic collab. Waiting forward to seeing you guys roaming london together.
Yea! Should be a good one in London
Loved seeing you guys get together. I have subscribed to both of your channels for a while now. Look forward to when you get together in London.
awesome. thanks for watching!
I'd love to take this stuff out on a trip to Australia one day. The depth of red in all the soil and rocks in the landscapes in Oz was one of my defining memories of my time out there and I'd love to see what the Ortho would do with it.
oh yea that sounds like a perfect choice!
Love that Biggie on the back! Nice channel as well, gonna sub straight away!
Thanks! Welcome aboard
Thank you for showing this, too funny about the sound bit. I have one word about sound ok maybe two Tascam.
haha yea, i messed that up ...

Yea def! I enjoyed it, gonna buy some more
I'm definitely going to pick up some Ortho next chance I get. I love how contrasty it is. :-D Your shots turned out great!!
Yea def worth a try!
2:00 I took a hovercraft from Boston to Provincetown during a storm. It was not smooth at all. At least half of the passengers got seasick, I almost did.
Sounds brutal!
I haven't tried Ilford Ortho 80 but am curious about it. Might have to order some from analogue wonderland
yea think its worth one roll 😊
I used the film years ago but I just started shooting large format again in the last few years. Ortho film is great and I have some nice images from college on it. God only knows college was damn near 30 years ago. Like I said before get some Kodak tech pan film off eBay and shoot that.
Yea! I have some tech pan in my stash!
how dare you clean the lens with your jacket...while I clean mine with my t-shirt looking at you undignified like :D
hahaha, there are levels 😂
Can't wait for you and Roger doing a London shoot together.
Yea will be a great time
This takes me back. Shoot ortho as contrasty as possible then print on super hard paper that had a strong colour died through it. Can you say 70s, I knew you could 😂
Sounds interesting!!
Dope video! I have somehow managed to miss that you're UK based, despite watching your channel for a long time😆
Haha yea! In London 😃
EPIC.. LOVE IT
yea was fun!

Can you get the same results with regular film and a green filter?? Maybe similar in some ways but not the same. And yeah wow it's too expensive.
Yea perhaps. Anything that tones down red will be similar
Great video been trying to teach myself b/w photography for the last 1.5 to 2 years it is amazing what you can learn from practice even in rhe darkroom the same boring negative will look totally different after some burning a dodging
yea definitely! can only learn by doing 😊
Love both your channels.

Mine is an LPL one. It’s very old - I need a newer one
New sub fom SFLAB. Nice colab.
Welcome aboard!
Great video, might give Ortho a go at some point 😀
Yea I think you should!
How timely. Literally just bought some of this in 4x5
nice! enjoy 😊
Take a shot every time Ribs says kinda lol. Kinda making me wanna travel out to UK beaches bro
Hahaha my b 😅 yea UK is cool
I enjoy your channel. Started watching about a month ago. What backpack are you using?
Thanks! It’s a normal backpack (not a photo one) made by Rains
I really like Ortho, I've shot a few rolls and find it great for street photography. Like you, I wonder about the price. I'd shoot a lot more Ortho if it was a similar price to HP5+ or FP4+.
Yea def, it’d be great if it was cheaper
Did you use fresh print developer?
actually, no i didn't - maybe that was it!
If you ever come down to Cornwall while in the UK, shout me :)
Sounds good. Maybe next year!
Love this bro
thanks for watching!

Hey - not really. Red filter adds more red this brightens then. Ortho is the opposite
@@ribsy oh I see
You should explore the BnW graded filters more........ You will get what you want as soon as you learn how to understand those filters :-)
yea! ive been thinking about it for a while. def plan to mess around
@@ribsy That shot with the paraglider only needed a couple of seconds with a grade 5 filter and you would have got what you had with your scan :-)
i have only shot ortho twice, first time I fucked up completely and tried to shoot it with a red filter lol
Haha yea that defeats the point!
4 hours travel time... damn. Worth it though. Did you stay in Portsmouth for some HMS Victory? haha
haha nope, went all the way back to london
@@ribsy Went all the way back by Hovercraft I hope! Haha I gotta admit, I didn’t know there was still a a hovercraft service to IoW 😅
Portraits are interesting with freckles and folks that look like me.
yea thats what i hear!
I need to do a photo walk with other people again! Anyone in Denver?
photowalks are the best!!
Roger sent me xD Subbed :D
welcome! thanks for joining
This film can be developed under red light!! just like the paper!!!!!! so you can see the image comming from the developer, and getting clear in the fixer, thats why its mor expensive ;)
Yea def 😃
Use a red filter to get similar results but cheaper ;)
Haha fair point
Hi, Did you have any curling issues with this stock? I shot a roll yesterday with same procedures as normal (5yrs) but the curl was terrible along the short side
Nope! No issues at all (with 120)
Ahh... my roll= 35mm
(6:09) 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱😱
😊
Front elements don't care
You could probably change the contrast on multi-coated paper when you do traditional black and white prints. You could also vignette by burning. Have you took the negative into the traditional dark room? @leicar2d2 #filmdevelopingusergroupFacebook
Yea I have. I was in a rush in this video
@@ribsy awesome. :0)
What would happen if you used a red or even just a yellow filter?
Good question haha, no clue!
Red filter would result in pretty much no image at all as ortho is insensitive to red wavelengths (which is what you get with a red filter, duh) and a yellow filter works well but results will be different than with pan film.
Get a few rolls of tech pan film for seeing zero grain,
yea! i actually already have some haha. looking forward to using it
Look at photographing freckle faces with ortho
Yea that’s what I hear!
ok, hold on, waitwaitwait...out of all the beers you could get from the Czech Republic, you get a fucking Staropramen? Grind your lens with some sand for that :D
haha sorry - I’m only picky with American beer 🤣
Cleaning lens like this... Nope.
LOL 😅
