Greetings,

I used to enjoy shooting with Tri-X Ortho because of the dramatic shadows and pin point detail of faces (not always appreciated by the subject!!!)it would render. I know this is not available anymore. Are there any ortho emulsions available that have normal or slightly high contrast? Thanks.

Macophot ort 25 By Cachet. I know they have it in 35mm, and I'm pretty sure it's in 120, but 4X5 I don't think they have.

Have you tried using a #44 filter with tri-X?

I Just checked the cachet website. They have ORT 100 which is more appropriate for pictoral (Near normal contrast)

Here is the link http://www.onecachet.com/tech.htm

Ilford Ortho Plus is available in sheet sizes only, not in 120 or 35mm, at least in the uk, I don't know about elsewhere. It is about 80 ASA in daylight, 40 in tungsten, and about the same contrast as FP4.
