Efke 120 IR820 Black and White Infrared Film (1 Roll)
Efke 120 IR820 Black and White Infrared Film - is a great medium speed film when you want to shoot this specialized type of image. With a spectral sensitivity of 820nm, it turns scenes with foliage and clouds into pure white dreamy photos. With the use of a deep red (or opaque) filter, water and blue sky become deep black. Skin tones and lips turn white.
This film has high resolving power. It features an anti-halation backing that improves sharpness and helps prevent a halo effect.
Note! Testing of this emulsion has shown that best results are obtained by exposing the film at ISO 25 and using an infrared filter such as a Hoya R72, Tiffen #87 or B+W 092 (Standard Red 25A filters are not recommended)
- Easy process in standard black and white developers
- Creates a dreamy, fantasy effect

Comments about Efke 120 IR820 Black and White Infrared Film (1 Roll):
For years infrared shooters waited and petitioned Kodak to make true infrared film in medium format. That never happened...but Efke has created a beautiful infrared film for us medium format shooters. To get the best results for this film you need a true infrared filter such as the Hoya R72 which cuts out all visible light below 720 nanometers.Because that filter is nearly black to the human eye, it's best to shoot this film with rangefinder or Twin Len Reflex cameras such as Rollei and Yashica and Holga. Old folders like the Zeiss Nettar work well too, and a sturdy tripod. This film can be loaded in normal light shade, which the Efke AURA cannot. Load up and enjoy the wonderous, invisible world of Infrared!
Pros
- Easy to Use
- Great Picture Quality
Cons
Best Uses
- Landscape/Scenery
Comments about Efke 120 IR820 Black and White Infrared Film (1 Roll):
This was the first IR Film I've ever used, but I was able to get several good shots on my first roll!
They have that "dreamy" look that you see in many IR Photos!
I processed in Ilfosol 3 for 8-1/2 minutes, which gave me very nice negatives!
