Long famous for its top of the line cameras, Rollei now offers that same superb quality in a formidable line of black and white films, developers and liquid emulsion. Rollei's films run the gamut, including panchromatic and orthochromatic. Rollei's low-speed and high-speed film developers bring out the optimum results in the R3 film, enabling the photographer to shoot in any lighting situation, studio or on location, bright or dark. And if the photographer wants to coat their own paper-or just about any other kind of surface, for that matter-Rollei's Black Magic liquid emulsion allows them to take their images in exciting new alternative directions.

Rollei Pan

Besides exhibiting excellent fine-grain, this film has very good resolving power and high edge sharpness. It is characterized by a high sensitivity reserve of one f-stop, depending upon development. The thin-section emulsion is on a 100 micron, crystal clear polyester base. Reminiscent of the late, great Agfa APX 25, Rollei Pan 25 delivers unmatched detail and lush tonality. Available in 35mm and 120 sizes.

Rollei Retro

Rollei Retro 100 is a panchromatic sensitized Black & White film material with a high speed of ISO 100/22°. The film can be used as a general purpose photographic film suitable for all professional tasks, as it has excellent sharpness and contrast. The emulsion is coated on to a 95 micron cellulose triacetate base.


Rollei Retro 100 is equivalent in characteristics to Agfa APX 100 B&W film, and is available in 35mm and 120 sizes.


Rollei Retro 400 is a panchromatic sensitized Black & White film material with a high speed of ISO 400/27°. The film can be used as a general purpose photographic film suitable for all professional tasks, as it has excellent sharpness and contrast. The emulsion is coated on to a 95 micron cellulose triacetate base.


Rollei Retro 400 is equivalent in characteristics to Agfa APX 400 B&W film, and is available in both 35mm and 120 sizes.


Rollei R3

ROLLEI R³ is a low to high-speed black-and-white negative film of high acutance. Using Maco's classical cubic crystal technology, the emulsion of ROLLEI R³ is made up of three extremely thin layers with silver halides of different sizes and three different degrees of sensitivity. As a result, when used in conjunction with Rollei developers, ROLLEI R³ allows the entire spectrum from fine-grain low-speed images (ISO 25/15°) to maximum-speed images (ISO 6400/39°) to be used with considerably better shadow detail and finer tonal rendering than with films pushed the conventional way. Available in 35mm, 120 and 4" x 5" sizes.


Rollei Ortho

Rollei Ortho 25 is a technical, steeply working monochrome photographic film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 25/15°. The document emulsion offers an extraordinary sharpness and extreme fine grain, making the film very suitable for technical-scientific applications, and as a half-tone film in pictorial photography. It has an exposure latitude of up to two f-stops, depending on development. Available in both 35mm and 120 sizes, it has become a favored replacement for Kodak Tech Pan.

Rollei Low-Speed Developer

Initially designed to work specifically with Rollei R3 film, Rollei's RLS (Low-Speed) and RHS (High-Speed) developers give that film unmatched flexibility. The RLS is ideal for developing the film between ISOs 25 and 200, while the RHS is best for higher ISOs up to a stunning 6400. They can also be used in conjunction with a wide variety of films by Ilford, Kodak and Fuji.

Rollei Black Magic

Rollei/Maco Black Magic emulsions are very high in silver content, a feature that produces richer, longer lasting images. The Black Magic System gets top marks from the experts in liquid emulsion processing.
