I have used it for years. It is a great film and a true 250 in Diafine. The N74+ is grainy but looks good at 200-320 in HC-110 Dil B. I have also pushed the 400 to 1600 in Acufine. That is the top end. ORWONA has trouble keeping it in stock and I got some shipped directly to me from ORWO in Germany. This upset the ORWONA people but all is fair in love and war.
Larry, you really need to try Pyrocat-HDC (Sandy King) for this N74+ film.

Hi. Does anyone know where I can get ORWO 74 in cartridges? ORWO NA seems to be out of stock. Don't really want to get a bulk, which requires getting a loader, etc. I just want to try a couple of rolls.
Currently out of stock at the distributor but here's the link http://www.orwona.com/b-w-35mm-photography-film/
They are the distributor.
Thanks, darkroommike.
Looking for shops that stock the cartridges. Thanks in advance for the replies.
The manufacturer Filmotec does not convert to cassettes.
You either have to find a retailer who does so, or do it by yourself. It is a no brainer. And you do not need any special equipment at all.
Only a bit of thinking what your are doing.

I only have it in bulk. It really is a nice film. Looks great in D76. Are you in the U.S.?
My secret Santa this year, organized by Emulsive.org, sent me ORWO films in cartridge format.
They are U.K. based and sells online. Here's the web site: http://ntphotoworks.com/shop/35mm/
Ask them if they can export to you ex-VAT. UK VAT rate is 20%.

I see things a very quiet at Orwo NA. Hope they are just waiting on stock.

Filmotec concentrates on the Motion Picture side of things, although the north American distributor (http://orwoNA.com/ )does spool off some bulk loads from time to time. (looking right now they show 11 rolls in stock of the UN54 as 36 exposure rolls) the edge print is motion picture footage numbers rather than frame numbers Still N74 is a decent film and relatively inexpensive particularly if you have the equipment like rewinds and split reels to use it in the 400ft rolls. ( US$190 for 400 ft rather than 4X60= $240 for 4 100 ft rolls.) the folks don't seem to hold much stock in NY but if you contact them will let you know when they get their next shipment.
Yeah, I've done that in high school. I just didn't wanted to go through the hassle of getting a loader, cartridges, etc. just for the sake of testing it out. Then again, it seems like a viable long-term option for other stocks. I see from a post below that someone in the UK sells in cartridge format.
Cheers. Will check them out.
Sounds tempting. Yes, I am US-based.
As I said you do NOT need special tools.
Just the bulk roll, a pair of scissors, an old cassette with a piece of film sticking out, a piece of adhesive tape, a porcelain salad-bowl/soup-dish and a room you can get dark. Maybe by means of a towel or by waiting for the night.
I started bulkloading after exposing only 4 films. I had no tools. It worked perfectly from the start.
It took me years to realize that there was such as a bulk loader.
That's pretty hardcore DIY. I'd get nervous enough just trying to get film into a bulk film loader, let alone trying to load up a cartridge straight up with no loader and using a salad bowl or soup dish. Whatever works, works.
I'm just curious as to why ORWO / Filmotec does not produce their own brand of 35mm film in cartridges.
I succeeded doing so from the start, without internet, without any book on photography, without help by anybody.
Do not overcomplicate things.
The only thing to consider when using reloadable cassettes is the winding direction and the orientation of thbeforeer spindle.
You may look at an assembled cassette or even take that into your improvised dark room.

Filmotec only aims at the "industrial" market. And that market only needs long rolls.
Offering type 135 conversions would mean the cost and hassle to acquire spooling equipment, or having it toll-spooled. But also offering amateur orientated support.
Agfa for instance could have opted after the demise of AgfaPhoto as manufacturer, to serve a niche market as Maco did. They did not.

The cost involved in doing so might approach the cost of making the film itself.
I noticed at the beginning of this thread, N 74 was called "N 74", and more recently, it's referred to as "N 74 plus." Any difference?
"
The N 74 plus is a marked advance over its predecessor, thanks to improved slippage,
extremely low shedding and excellent antistatic qualities"
