Rollei Retro 80S 80 ISO Film
Rollei Retro 80S is a panchromatic black and white negative film supplied in a 35mm cassette with 36 exposures. The emulsion originates from the AGFA Aviphot Pan80 formula and is coated on a transparent polyester base of 100 m for long-term dimensional stability. It carries a nominal sensitivity of 80 ISO and offers expanded spectral sensitivity into the near infrared range.
Portrait, landscape and product photographers
This film suits photographers who want fine-grained black and white results for portraits, landscapes or product work. The near infrared response can render skin tones smoothly, making minor blemishes less visible in portraits. Photographers who require colour images, higher ISO speeds for low-light action, or instant digital review should choose a different medium.
Consistent quality under sustained shooting
The polyester base resists curling and maintains flatness during extended sessions, helping to preserve sharpness across the full 36-exposure roll. Because the nominal speed is fixed at 80 ISO, exposure latitude remains predictable whether you shoot a single roll or several in succession. Development times stay constant, so batch processing yields uniform contrast and density without unexpected shifts.

Questions about this item
Does my 35 mm camera need any special feature to use this 80 ISO film?
Any 35 mm camera that can be set to ISO 80 or allows manual exposure compensation will work with this roll.
Will the 100 m polyester base change how the film advances in my older 35 mm body?
The thin polyester base feeds through standard 35 mm transports without modification.
How can I confirm the near-infrared sensitivity is active after developing?
Look for the characteristic smooth skin tones and reduced blemish visibility in portraits shot on the developed negatives.
