The Lomography Orca B&W 100 110 is a black and white film. It is in the pocket film format/110 and is sold by Lomography.
The Orca has a sensitivity of ISO 100, and you can take 24 pictures with one cartridge of the film.
It was introduced in May 2012, about 3 years after Kodak, Fuji and Ferrania stopped their production of pocket film. It can be used in the old Pocketfilm cameras or, for example, in the Fisheye Baby 110.
When it was introduced, there were only a limited number of films, 5000, but these lacked the protective paper. This meant that light leaks could occur in the last 4 shots and you had to count the frames yourself.
The Orca is a true black and white film, which means that it cannot simply be developed in C-41, but in a black and white developer. That's why you should check with the lab beforehand to avoid any nasty surprises.
