Hi,

You can still shoot Rollei Ortho25.
It's one of my favorite.
I use RLC (Rollei low contrast) to develop as the contrast is too high with RHS.

You can also try infrared (Rollei IR 400) with a 720 nm filter, exposed between 1.5 and 12 iso depending on the time of the day and the height of the sun.

Tim,

Try the red PLUS a polariser.

I would love to duplicate the dark black skies one sees in images shot
on the old ortho films. I have tried many filters (orange, red, tri-red), many films (TX, PX, TMX,BPF, FP4) and developers (D-76, HC-110, PMK, T-Max),
and I never quite manage to get what I want.

I even tried using Ilford's ortho film, but unless I'm doing something
wrong in development (possible, since I only glanced at the data sheets),
the stuff is so grainy as to be unusable.

Ideas anyone?   I shoot a great deal of winter snow and summer landscape
stuff and would really love to have that black sky behind it all.
