Can't fathom any other corporate rep giving away product and time for a show-and-tell interview while on vacation. I love how small film companies treat their customers. Meanwhile Kodak told me to pound sand when I tried getting a replacement for their naffed Dektol. Big props to James and Orwo
I spent my childhood shooting with Agfa CT18, 50asa colour transparency film. Now that teaches you to nail your exposure (very little latitude - about one stop if I recall), and shooting in the UK with 50asa teaches you to be creative with the light!! Interesting to see that Orwo has its roots in Agfa. It's a shame that that didn't appear to produce a 120 stock, but I may be tempted to dust off one of my 'smaller' cameras and give it a go.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Good to know, I'll be sure to add a couple of rolls to my next Analogue Wonderland order. I use a lot of Lomography colour films along side the usual suspects, Portra and Cinestill, but have never looked at their B&W offerings. Thanks.
Na ORWO som fotil už v roku 1971 boli vtedy nie len 135 ale ja 120 dokonca sa občas objavili aj 220 .Okrem ORWO sa používali filmy FOMA a SVEMA ,cenovo menej dostupné boli aj KODAK AGFA.ORWO boli cenou aj kvalitou zlatý stred samozrejme KODAK a AGFA boli cenovo aj kvalitou vyššie. ILFORD bol v extra lige. Na ORWO 220 sa dala fotiť aj svatba Yashicou 124 MAT G. Boli to krásne fotografické časy. Bol by som rád , keby sa obnovila výroba 120 a 220 filmov ORWO.
That was a really interesting video. It is interesting learning about the history behind Orwo and their films. I had only heard of them as part of the “Ostalgie”-movement when I studied German language and history a while back, and wasn’t aware it was still available. I’ll look it up. Thanks for another inspiring video.
Good interview and a lot of commitment of James Holcombe for the ORWO products. I'm not sure if James Holcombe still works for ORWO as his Website and some other websites of your list have vanished or are outdated. But he seems to have been one of those representatives a (re-) start up company should really work with if they intended to step into the consumer market. For me, ORWO prices are still beyond budget and the data sheets did not grow with time regarding the proposals for alternative developers.
Hi I am hoping to get some of this bulk film, and would like to know what sort of tape do you use to tape the film in the cassette. As i have heard you should not use bulk loaded film in auto wind cameras , but you seem fine with the Nikon F5 . Any advice you could give me would be most appreciated
Whatever sticks. I've used masking tape for mine but also used electrical tape and sellotape. As long as it slips into the cassette easily. I don't see a problem with auto rewind cameras. Only trouble being is it will take the film back into the cassette meaning you need to wreck it to get the film out. Unless you're using twist top cassettes. The F5 I can keep my finger on the rewind button and stop the rewind as I see the frame counter coming near to the end. Then I go in the darkroom and open the back and pull the rest of the film out. Just so I can save the cassette for another load.
YO !! ROGER !!! I am the Greatest ORWO Fan ! I used to order 10x50 meter NP22 bulk tins at a time from the company in REDHILL that imported ORWO and for my evening class Students I ordered 100 cassettes of ORWOCHROME UT18 . I used NP22 a lot for my local PRESS work -- the 400 ASA stuff was NOT so good though -- Soft and Grainy. Also I have some still ORWO NP15 very slow in 120 and 35mm and NP20 sent to me by a Kind Gent in DENMARK and that works well in RODINAL 1+50 . I rate the NP22 at 100 ASA not 125 but all mine is now well -OUTDATED so could do with some 'FRESH' I used to get 20x16" Exhibition Prints from NP22 and won 1st award at the Essex International Salon Southend-on-Sea ESSEX with one.
I tell you, I was literally so concerned that Bull would jump the gate so much so I was actually trying to figure out an escape plan. Which would have been to climb a tractor and wait for help. I was the only one there and the Bull kept popping his head over the gate to see what I was up to HA HA HA.
As with Espen that was a really interesting video and wonderful interview from James Holcombe. I'm a big fan of Orwo, so it was great to get some background history on the film etc.
Great video! Please pardon what may be a stupid question, but I’m a noob looking into shooting motion picture film for stills Does this have a remjet layer that must be removed first? Thank you in advance! CC
Thank you! Laughing about you being silly about cows, or bulls as you go. Great film. So sharp. Wish I had a roll of that to take out for a day! Edit: I build myself a shed darkroom last year because of you being able to do what you do in that bloody hot shed of yours in summer and cold in winter. Greetings from Holland
I bought a mix of different Orwo films from a eBay seller called C0re. I offers sets with five or six different films in 24 exposure cassettes. I hardly shoot 135, but I am really curious.
Been using UN54 a little while, love it. Looks even better with #510pyro for 12”15 need to establish a time for N75 now too. Great stocks to have at our disposal !
Thanks to this video, I've been in contact with James regarding new stocks of UN54, seems like a nice guy. Looking forward to giving it a go :) Thanks Roger me ol mate!
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss There is a U.S. distributor for ORWO film, so no need to use Silberra, if you are in the States. And, yes, what developer and times are you using for UN 54 for those nice results?
Nice one! My current favourite b&w film, gotta get me one of those tins! I usually push it 1 stop to 200 for a slight bump in contrast. Works very well with HC-110 imo.
Fab video, and really enjoyed your chat with James. Lovely to see the community getting together, which is a bit tough in darkest Devon, the few of us there are tend to live a long way apart,

I have a 120 roll here. twice a year I was told they roll off a 120. I believe Potsdam 100 is the same stuff

Cheers Pete. Always interested in your experience. Hope you and your family are well mate
Haha Roger you and cattle make me laugh every time. (The wife and I breed Highland and Murrey Grey Cattle). That film stock sure looks nice though.

Never forget - You mess with the Bull, you get the horn.
Orwo film has been on my radar for a while. I might just give it a try before the year is out.

Not on this film.

Cheers. Great to hear you made a darkroom. Hope it's going well.
Sometimes the plants aline and good things happen.
I would love to some day try shooting analog film. But the costs are just astronomical. Even when compared to to film stills.
Yeah I asked James about that and that 100 ft roll would give about a minute or so of run time 24fps
I bought a mix of different Orwo films from a eBay seller called C0re. I offers sets with five or six different films in 24 exposure cassettes. I hardly shoot 135, but I am really curious.
Shoot it :)
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I prefer to shoot medium format.
Great video as always Roger, really interesting
Thanks for watching Allan.
Oh! Still have ORWO b&w negative photo paper and used it for pinhole camera from beer cans! Paper from ~80s I guess. And paper works fine!
I've been interested in orwo for a while. Think I might pick up some 16mm un74 for my krasnagorsk 3 at some point
great video .... I'm loving all the motion picture film that's now becomoming available ... I'm making time to try as much as possible ....
You do realize there is a shutter button on the vertical grip😄
I know. I keep it off. Can't get used to it
Been using UN54 a little while, love it. Looks even better with #510pyro for 12”15 need to establish a time for N75 now too. Great stocks to have at our disposal !
ORWO is back
Always love the way you interact with farm animals. Love the fact they played with you mind by telling you it was a Nutter.
Love all the motion picture films converted for us photography nerds. Cheers from California Roge.
Great pleasure watching, as always. Respect for what you are doing for flim photography.
Orwo colour :O
Thanks to this video, I've been in contact with James regarding new stocks of UN54, seems like a nice guy. Looking forward to giving it a go :) Thanks Roger me ol mate!
Nice one Lloyd. Yeah James is a good guy.
Cheers Roger, nice interview and really enjoyed seeing the Bolex!
Interesting film, a new film to me too. Can we get some in the States, and what about developers/times, etc.?
Try Potsdam 100 or Silberra 54UN. I believe its the same stuff.
It is available in the US in bulk as well from orwona.com. Dev times are also found on the Massive Dev Chart to start with.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss There is a U.S. distributor for ORWO film, so no need to use Silberra, if you are in the States. And, yes, what developer and times are you using for UN 54 for those nice results?
Hi Dan, you can order directly from us. Please get in touch with your requests.
Nice one! My current favourite b&w film, gotta get me one of those tins!
I usually push it 1 stop to 200 for a slight bump in contrast. Works very well with HC-110 imo.

Hey there, Thanks for this lovely Mug ;) . Best regards from belgium .
Glad you like it. Thanks for the purchase!
Great to hear the history of the film!!! So the bull didn't get ya but the vehicle tried as well ... this photo stuff is dangerous!!!
It's a risk everytime I leave the house Brian! These country lanes and farms are out of control.
Hey Roger!
Love your videos! They are keeping me sane during the pandemic and giving me the motivation to go out and shoot more film.
Cheers,
Scotty
Good on you Scotty! Thanks for watching
"Nutty Bull" HAH! DAD JOKE!
a new colour film would be nice
And listened about ORWO and visited the English village))
Thank you !
