Looking for Ilford Ortho 80 sample photos? These ten ArtByPino frames were shot in McAllen — seven on 35mm with a Canon A2E, three square 120 (6×6) frames with a Rollei Magic II — downtown McAllen landmarks.
Ilford Ortho 80 (Ortho Plus) is a fine-grain orthochromatic black-and-white negative film rated at ISO 80. It is almost insensitive to red light, so reds go dark and blue skies stay light — a look that suits stone carving, neon, and pale hotel facades. It processes in standard black-and-white chemistry.
This set walks McAllen: the Cine El Rey marquee, the carved 1927 Theodore Roosevelt Elementary annex doorway (now The Annie), Casa de Palmas, La Placita / McAllen Heritage Center, Archer Park fountain, Rex Cafe neon, Our Lady of Sorrows, and First Presbyterian on S. 12th.
