Post your Orthochromatic Images here

This film was used by newspapers until the 70's it was a low cost film
Today it use in the graphic industries using a high contras developer.
Back in the 70's I us D76 for the continuous-tone developer The ASA was 15 or 25

Today with cost of film going up and up now I am looking at using a low cost film again.
Cost of pan film for box of 50 4x5 is $54.99 and ortho $10.71

I´m using Ilford ortho plus with very pleasing results (grey scale). For Tungsten ISO 40° for natural light ISO 64° to 80°. With ID11 you can get the so called pictorial contrast G64. But it isn´t really cheaper than pan-film.

I wonder why in our distant past X-Ray was not rolled into this Ortho thread?

You can get this film at Freestyle, although it is no longer being manufactured:

I've been playing around with it, seems like it will be good for cyanotypes at least.

I've used Freestyle's house brand litho film to create enlarged negatives for making cyanotypes. Reversal processing produces a high contrast continuous tone copy negative. I used 1:2 Dektol for the first and second developer, P. Chromate/Sulfuric Acid bleach, S. Sulfite clearing bath.

Ortho lithographic film is very different stuff than plain-old continuous tone orthochromatic film. Something advertising itself as 'hard dot' is going to be contrasty even for a lithographic film.

If x-ray film can be considered Ortho -- here are three. I can handle the film under a redsafe light.

I use to use Kodak Copy Film -- I believe that is ortho, also, but I might be wrong.

My boys -- 8x10, X-ray film developed at the hospital. Scanned Platinum prints.

Hello,

struggling sometimes and enyoing mostly with my LF-hobby here in germany,
this is my first posting here.
Usually i use 4x5" / 9x12 cm, and from time to time 5x7".

My english is bad,i am sorry; my scanning is ugly, i feel shame -and this pic is dusty.
I can t reach your very high quality, but i love orthochromatic film ( Ortho 25).
This pic was made on 9x12 cm, using RF, 6x9 cm. Is this small format allowed ?

This Ortho 25 ( different names here, this were Rollei Ortho 25) has an Asa of 25.
Nearly 50 Euro / 50 sheets 4x5" thistime.
A crop from my print ( teststripe), 50x60cm, as a lithprint, because my scanner max. takes Din A 4...
