Rollei Retro 400S 35mm Film
Rollei Retro 400S is a fast panchromatic black and white negative film rated at ISO 400/27deg. It comes in a standard 35mm cartridge containing 36 exposures. The emulsion delivers fine grain with excellent sharpness and high edge definition. It suits photographers who need a versatile monochrome stock for general or professional work.
Loading and Processing
The film uses a modern clear polyester base that feeds smoothly through manual or motor-driven cameras. Standard 35mm cassettes fit any camera accepting that format without modification. Polyester bases can be curl-prone after development; careful drying under tension helps keep negatives flat for scanning. The base also resists tearing during reel loading in daylight tanks.
Sustained Shooting Characteristics
The ISO 400 speed allows consistent exposure in varied lighting without pushing. Fine grain structure holds up across long rolls when processed in standard developers. Polyester base stability maintains dimensional accuracy during extended wet times. Contrast and edge sharpness remain uniform from the first frame to the thirty-sixth.
