Explore the world of photography with the Rollei Retro 400S Black and White Negative Film. This 35mm roll film, measuring a generous 100', is a fast, fine-grained panchromatic film that offers an ISO of 400/27deg, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of lighting conditions. As a versatile, general-purpose film, the Retro 400S is not only perfect for everyday photography but is also well-suited for professional assignments. Its excellent sharpness and contrast capabilities ensure that every shot you take is of the highest quality. What sets this black and white negative film apart is its high edge sharpness, which captures every detail with precision. This feature makes it a preferred choice among photographers who value clarity and detail in their work. The Retro 400S is coated onto a modern clear synthetic polyester film base (PE), a feature that enhances its scanning capabilities. This means you can easily digitize your photos without compromising on their quality. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a budding photographer, the Rollei Retro 400S Black and White Negative Film is a reliable choice for capturing life's moments in stunning black and white.

Film emulsion offers great tonal range when exposed at box speed and processed in HC-110 (dilution B). Grain seems to be a little bit finer than Ilford HP4 but slightly courser than Kodak Tri-X 400. I have not attempted to stand develop or push/pull this film yet.

The only con I have is the film base seems to be rather thin, almost paper-like. This makes it slightly fumbly to load into reels for developing.

Fine grain, high speed black and white film performs well beyond it's price.

Works wonderfully for portraits or all around shooting. A bit more expensive than most films but worth it for the different look due to the slight infrared sensitivity .

Good to use every once in awhile

great film that gives a classic black and white look without being cartoonish, or simply poor quality (what most "vintage" looks actually are).
