IMPORTANT TIPS for success shooting FPP BW IR:

  • 1. Keep the film in the all black plastic can before and after exposure.
  • 2. Load and unload your camera in total darkness.
  • 3. If you have a film ID window on the backdoor of your camera cover it with electrical tape.
  • 4. Do not use cameras with IR film transport sensors.
  • 5. Use a 25A red and a polarizer ( or 87IR filter )for the most dramatic results. (Film is sensitivity on the range of wavelengths 700 – 850 nm)
  • 6 The sun is your friend, the more you have the more IR you will see.
  • 7. Use the recommended ISO of 200
  • 8. Set your f/stop to f/16 and adjust the shutter speed for the correct exposure, remember to meter through your filter(s).
  • 9. If the light is to low to use f16 then you will have to shift your lens focus to the IR mark on the lens. See examples.

I have used it but was not impressed. Don’t expect anything approaching HIE or Efke offerings. Just really just not much infrared about it at all. I don’t like to be hateful or anything but it’s really not even much of a black and white film. What I mean by that is don’t expect anything approaching professional results.
