Ilford Ortho Plus 80

‘A touch of magic’

Almost on a whim I purchased a roll each of 35 and 120 Ortho Plus. I wasn’t expecting anything exciting but always looking that ‘touch of magic’. So I gave this blue biased sensitive film a go. A photo is worth a 1000 words so I’ll say no more… just take a close look at these images, tack sharp, great tonal range with a rendering I like a ton.

What more could we ask for?
