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.

Rollei Infrared 400 is well suited for experimental, creative applications and for scientific photography. This film has a sensitivity up to 820nm and an ISO of 400 without filtering. Perfect exposures can be reached, using special infrared filters, leading to results with an unusual tonal range. Special AURA effects can be obtained by overexposing film. It has high contrast, very fine grain and excellent sharpness and is especially suited for scanning.

• Traditional Black and White Infrared Film
• High speed panchromatic black and white film material with special infrared sensitivity
• Large exposure latitude and a high exposure reserve for application under all lighting and climatic conditions.
• Special coating for improvement of film transport properties of the cameras
• Suitable for daylight or tungsten lighting
• Polyester base support guarantees the highest level of archive stability (LE 500)
• Under careful handling, Rollei Infrared can be inserted and removed from the camera under subdued light conditions.

Note

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 deeper infrared filter. Standard Red 25A filters are not recommended. Individualized exposure testing is necessary to realize optimal results.
