I’ve been testing ORWO Wolfen NC 500 for months, trying to understand how to use this film best. It demonstrated promising results in promotional samples ( analog.cafe/r/film-photogr… ) and in some examples mentioned by other reviewers.
But the testers’ feedback is very inconsistent — this film seems to have impressed them at one point and disappointed at another.
This film seems to shine in specific light/scenes/applications.
I’ve got results that looked like expired Portra: excellent skin tone reproduction with chunky grain and low saturation. Hoping to find a strategy to make the most of this film consistenly.
I’ll test another roll and publish my results soon.
Here’s another shot with ORWO Wolfen NC 500 in my Voigtländer Vitessa A ( analog.cafe/r/voigtlander-… ). It appears to preserve highlights very well and captures the mood of cloudy weather well. I want to try exposing this film at EI 200 and 100 to see if that could deliver better results than box speed.
