I bought a roll of Rollei Infrared a while ago with a basket of assorted film from Analogue Wonderland. It wasn't until the recent sunny spell that I had the chance to really test it out. So here is how I got on.You need to use a strong infrared filter with this film that looks nearly black on your camera lens. I used a Pig Iron R-72 which did the job nicely. However, although the film is rated at ISO 400, the filter blacks everything out and you need a large aperture lens to get the shutter speed up to where you can hand hold the camera, otherwise you need a tripod for every shot.I chose to use my Pentax ME Super which has a good SMC Pentax-A 50mm lens with an aperture of f/1.7.

It had the advantage over my Spotmatic in that I could see the exposure lights in the almost totally dark viewfinder. Next time I plan to use a rangefinder camera if I can find one with a wide enough aperture. It's very difficult taking pictures when you can hardly see through the viewfinder. Composition was off and focusing very difficult (see my self portrait).You need a very sunny day with the sun high overhead to get the best out of the film. Under those conditions the plants glow in the heat as do the people and that creates the weird infrared world effect.You can see from the sample shots how this worked out and we have the typical white trees and dark skies that are a trademark of the infrared film. There are more of the photos over on my Lomography site in the Weird Infrared Dumfries album (https://www.lomography.com/homes/ayesongs).I developed the film in Perceptol 1+1 following the recommendations on the film box and got a stunning set of beautiful negatives.I would definitely try this again but not with an SLR.

I have shot this film in the past in both 135 and 120 formats. The Hoya R72 filter has a filter factor of 4-5 stops, unofficially, but I found that exposing the film at ISO 6 (6 stops) gave me the best looking results with crisp whites, dark skies, decent shadow detail, and still plenty of contrast. Now that I nailed down how to best shoot it to my liking, I purchased 4x5 sheets. Unfortunately I immediately ran into a problem and it was a pretty big one. My film has no notches! I emailed the manufacturer to let them know and in the meantime, I sacrificed a sheet by taking it out into the light to inspect it with my eyes. I thought maybe there was something my fingers were missing but there wasn't.

So I was able to load the sheets in my bag if I paid good attention to the way the sheets bent when I pinched them. And it worked. I loaded three sheets and I got three photos in return.As many users already know, the film has a very thin base so handling in a changing bag can be kind of tricky. But patience and slow, steady movements is the name of the game.As far as development goes, I developed in Legacy Pro LMAX (Tmax clone) 1:4 at 68 degrees for 12 minutes with 5 seconds of agitation every minute and I ended up with fantastic results. Crisp white foliage, dark black skies, and decent shadow detail. I will use the rest of this film using the pinch method but I hope Maco resolves this issue by the next time I order the film.

Having used a few rolls of 120 in the last year I eagerly awaited a box of sheet film when it became available again in the late summer. Loading the holders the film was found to be very thin and more flimsy than I was used to but still managed to load without too much of a problem. I shot a variety of images on a work trip using a Horseman45FA and an R72 filter to get the film IR effect. On one occasion I shot with an R72 and a red filter (5 second exposure at F32) and although I cant say it was definitely the Filter combo, it ended up being my favourite exposure of the trip. I expose to get full shadow detail and pull development to N-1 or even N-2 if I "think" I will lose the highlight detail (you never know- or at least I don't) and have had good results using ... MoreHaving used a few rolls of 120 in the last year I eagerly awaited a box of sheet film when it became available again in the late summer.

I have attained images with the full B+W IR look with white foliage and black skies to more subtle looks like the attached ( very far North in the UK / mid September and sun fairly low in the sky )I really like the look with this film and particularly the sky rendition even when it is a bit more subtle.

You asked me for the results of the Rollei IR 400 I received. Well I decided to use the film for checking out an untested Mamiya C3 camera, a Weston Master V meter and develop the film in Fomadon R09.So what we have is a camera I've never used, a light meter not calebrated and a devloper I'm not familier with, so what could possibly go wrong.The negative was a completely blank. Time for the pub. After contemplating the situation, I decided to repeat the test but with Ilford Ortho 80 and develop in Microphen which I know works. The result,- a complete success. Time for the pub. Yes I know seem to spend quite some time at the pub but it helps me to think, plus I'ts a nice canal side pub only 150 yards from my house, also the fact is that too many pubs are closing ... MoreYou asked me for the results of the Rollei IR 400 I received.

I know I'ts a hard life but somebody has to do It.So to recap: Everything seems to work except the Fomadon R09 or should I say me being the problem rather than the developer.I shall have another go later whan I've figured out what I did wrong.I think a certain 18th cent canal side PH beckons.Cheers.
Shot a roll of Rollei Infrared 400 B&W thru my 45 year old Olympus OM-1 with a 50mm 1.8 lens. Camera still works perfectly by-the-way This was my first attempt at infrared and I was impressed with the latitude of the film. I was bracketing exposures as this was an entirely new format for me and a bit of an experiment. Was every photo a keeper? No. But most were and the failings were mine not the films. The film performed very well and I have since ordered more IR film and a few accessories to help with infrared photo shoots.
When I use a 680nm filter, I get absolutely zero infrared effect, and the metering is exactly what I calculate a normal NON-IR panchromatic film would be with a 680nm filter. It's a full 3-4 entire stops off of what it should be if it had the IR sensitivity listed in the spec sheet, and shows no IR typical tonal effects. I happen to own a dedicated infrared DSLR that works great, and I metered the scenes with that, so it was already perfectly measuring the IR light specifically. I also bracketed many stops above and below. The negatives at the same metering as the IR digital camera came out almost transparent (severely underexposed), and with dark foliage. The ones +3-4 stops overexposed according to the digital IR camera came out well exposed but... dark foliage. ... MoreWhen I use a 680nm filter, I get absolutely zero infrared effect, and the metering is exactly what I calculate a normal NON-IR panchromatic film would be with a 680nm filter.

The ones +3-4 stops overexposed according to the digital IR camera came out well exposed but... dark foliage. No hint of IR. This is all as one would expect if using HP5, with zero IR sensitivity. It's only about 3% as sensitive as a normal shot is, when it should be more like 25% (the portion Rollei claims of the sensitivity is in IR on their specs). It's quite simply a scam. This is a normal 400 ISO film. Not an IR film. Or else they have terrible quality control or dud batches or something. The expiration date is over 2 years in the future as I write this.
I've shot this a couple of times in the past and rated it at 12 (5 stops) to compensate for my Hoya R72 filter based on what everyone online was saying to rate it at. I indeed got very dark, nearly black skies but I almost never had any detail in the shadows. It was too contrasty. I never quite liked the look of it but I've seen nice photos online that told me it was only a matter of tinkering with settings. So this time I decided to give it one more stop, rating the film at ISO 6 instead of 12 and that seemed to have done the trick for me. I got good shadow detail and brilliant, crisp whites. My settings were f/11 at 1/30. Lighting condition was bright, high noon sun.The 120 format provides much needed resolution, especially if you're shooting 6x9 like I did. ... MoreI've shot this a couple of times in the past and rated it at 12 (5 stops) to compensate for my Hoya R72 filter based on what everyone online was saying to rate it at.

Shooting this in 35mm is waste of time, film, and money in my opinion. The film is not terribly sharp and the grain is moderately high so photos come out looking gritty on 35mm. 120 or larger makes shooting this film worth it. I developed in Kodak T-Max 1:4 for 12 minutes and I got wonderful contrast and detail. I'll continue buying this film now that I have figured out how to shoot it to my taste.
I had a roll of this in my Wonderbox a few years back. I bought a 720nm filter to use with it, and as a result had to meter at ISO 6. Most of the pictures were taken using a tripod and a hand held light meter. My manual Pentax lenses have a mark for correcting the focus with IR film. The workflow was, therefore, set-up the shot on the tripod including focusing; carefully attach the filter, adjust the focus to the IR mark, meter, then take the photo with a cable release. The results are a little unpredictable with the greenery sometimes coming out white, sometimes a darker shade, and the blue skies sometimes almost black, sometimes more mid-grey. As I have only shot this one roll, I need to experiment more (and perhaps make some notes!) to get the most out of it. I ... MoreI had a roll of this in my Wonderbox a few years back.

As I have only shot this one roll, I need to experiment more (and perhaps make some notes!) to get the most out of it. I really enjoyed using it though, and once I have worked my way through the mountain of film I have waiting, I'll shoot a few more rolls.
I used a variable IR filter as well as a regular UV filter testing with various different shutter speeds with a 50mm f1.2 Canon SSC lens wide open taking mostly the same picture over and over on the different settings. When using the variable IR Filter I was testing between 530 and 730nm. The shutter speeds were between 350th of a second up to 30 seconds. I used Cinestills DP96 kit and a patterson tank. I was shooting around sunrise between 7 AM and 8:15 AM. I got ZERO exposures. Film is stored in refrigerator. Now I'm stuck with additional rolls of this stuff and it does not work.
The film's only drawback is that it is hard to handle in the dark because of its thinness.Everything else is great.When used as a normal negative (no filters) I find it works best at a reduced ASA, in my case 200.With filters a 25 red is enough to elicit a medium IR effect and with an IR filter (680 or 720) ig goes wildly IRThe 25 red takes the sensitivity to ASA ot 100 to 50With the IR filters, during the Summer I use ASA25 and in winter ASA 6I have tried different developers and Rodinal 1:50 and HC110 1:31 work best for me.Highly recommended
