Great infrared film option!!

I had a blast shooting first roll with a Hoya R72 (dark dark red) infrared filter, with some terrific success. Developed in D76 for six min. Shot at ISO 6 (metered without filter). Example seen here. https://peter-herman.pixels.com/featured/tobacco-dreams-tobacco-shed-near-stoughton-wi-with-oak-tree-shot-on-infrared-film-peter-herman.html

Best results are shot through a #23 or #25 filter if that classic IR "look" is what you are seeking.

It gives a nice high high contrast image with much of the classic IR feel when shot with a #23 or #25 Red filter. Though some images that are predominantly near the High Dmax of the film can be difficult for a film scanner to render correctly. (The output can still look a bit like abstract art though.) Develops nicely in D76 at 1:1 dillution.

Infrared B&W 35mm Photography

Great film for B&W Infrared photography. Please note, the film only displays Infrared qualities with the use of an Infrared filter.

Great IR results, reliable for pinhole exposures

Amazing film! It’s nice to have some infrared film on the market that has good sensitivity. I have only used it for pinhole but the reciprocity has left me with no complaints. I’m using r72 filters.

I had a blast shooting first roll with a Hoya R72 (dark dark red) infrared filter, with some terrific success. Developed in D76 for six min. Shot at ISO 6 (metered without filter).

For photographers seeking to explore the creative and scientific realms of photography, the Rollei Infrared 400 Black and White Negative Film offers an exceptional tool. This 35mm roll film, with 36 exposures, is designed with a unique sensitivity that extends up to 820nm, and an ISO rating of 400 without filtering. This makes it an ideal choice for experimental applications, offering a unique tonal range when used with special infrared filters.

The Rollei Infrared 400 film is renowned for its high contrast, very fine grain, and excellent sharpness, making it particularly suited for scanning. As a traditional black and white infrared film, it features high-speed panchromatic black and white film material with special infrared sensitivity. This ensures a large exposure latitude and a high exposure reserve, making it adaptable under all lighting and climatic conditions.

This film also boasts a special coating designed to improve the film transport properties of cameras. Whether you're shooting in daylight or under tungsten lighting, this film delivers consistent results. Its polyester base support guarantees the highest level of archive stability (LE 500), ensuring your images stand the test of time.

For those looking to achieve strong Infrared (IR) effects, we recommend exposing the film at a maximum of ISO 25 and using an R72 dark red infrared filter or a deeper infrared filter. Please note that standard Red 25A filters are not recommended. To realize optimal results, individualized exposure testing is necessary.

The manufacturer's recommended developing times are as follows: Rollei High Speed 1+7 for 6 minutes, Rollei High Speed1+12 for 8.5 minutes, Rollei Low Speed 1+4 for 18 minutes, Kodak D-76 stock for 6 minutes, Ilford ID-11 for 6 minutes, and Arista 76 for 6 minutes.

Under careful handling, the Rollei Infrared 400 can be inserted and removed from the camera under subdued light conditions. This film is not just a medium, but a gateway to a world of unique photographic possibilities.
