Rollei/AGFA Infrared 120 Black and White Infrared Film (One Roll)

Comments about Rollei/AGFA Infrared 120 Black and White Infrared Film (One Roll):

This is the only film I shoot. Everything else is digital. Contrary to one of the other reviewers, this film does not have to be loaded in complete darkness. That's one of the great benefits. Subdued light is necessary, but not complete darkness.

Scans great, as well as prints great in a conventional darkroom. Very versatile.

Expensive, but worth it. I may try the 35mm next.

This is the first infrared film I have used and I am happy with the results so far. I used an R72 filter, shot at ISO 6 and developed in Rodinal. The grain is very fine and the tones were great. You'll need lots of light of course, but the results are nice. There is not a pronounced halo effect, but the look is still surreal in its own way. One shot of a person in grass had an almost heavenly feel due to the light toned grass. I plan to experiment more with metering, but I got some great shots on my first roll.

I used this film without an IR filter on a hazy summer day. Cut right through the haze to record a lot of detail that was lost on the Kodachrome and born-digital images I shot of the same subject (a water tower) at the same time.

THis works great with Hoya R72 filter. ISO around 8. Very cool! BRACKETING A MUST!

As a newbie in the world of infrared photography I have been doing alot of experimenting with a sort of film and filters. I have to say that this film is the closest thing to Kodak's HIE (R.I.P.). The only down side to this film was the difficulty in finding developing info on this film. Luckily, I found this web page with the developing time for this film[@]Photograher Note:I love the digital world of photography but nothing is more rewarding than developing your own pictures. The aesthetics of Geletin Silver prints, I belive, can never be replaced by zeros and ones!

It makes really great photos and is pretty easy to process. The down side is that it is difficult to load as you must load and unload it in complete darkness

I use mf digital cameras for all of my professional work, but for special IR applications, a good near-visible filter and this film really outperforms any other option. Low grain, fast, handles all kinds of development processes, generally easy to use.

The only caveat I have is the occasional loose wind. Load in total darkness; preload your mags.

use film with 720nm filter and get good IR effects a little pricy but good film

This film is no HIE (for one thing, it's not discontinued), but it's versatile and easy to work with. Because of its speed, it's much easier to use than Efke 820c - you can shoot handheld through an 89-series filter in daylight. (Think effective ISO ~25 rather than 1-2.) The grain is fine and development is simple.

And ... best of all ... it comes in 35mm, 120, *and* sheets.
