Rollei Infrared 400 Black and White Negative Film (35mm Roll Film, 36 Exposures)

Key Features

IR-Sensitive Panchromatic B&W Neg. Film
ISO 400/27° without Filtration
650-750nm Infrared Sensitivity Range
Very Wide Exposure Latitude

Rollei Infrared 400 is a unique infrared-sensitized panchromatic black and white negative film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27° without filtration. It is sensitive to IR wavelengths within the range of 650-750nm and can be used to produce unique halation effects with filtration and by varying the exposure length. It is suitable for working in both daylight and tungsten conditions and is characterized by a fine grain structure, notable sharpness, and high resolving power. Additionally, a good contrast profile offers clear separation between shadow and highlight regions. The film's polyester base has been tested to an LE-500 (life expectancy of 500 years) archival rating and also features anti-curling and anti-static coatings, as well as a special coating to promote smooth film transportation within the camera. Additionally, this clear base is particularly well-suited to scanning applications.

How would the camera's exposure / auto-metering be affected by using a fill-flash covered with a 720nm filter (as primary light source)?

Asked by: Paolo

I’ve used this film with a fully manual Zeiss camera with no metering capability. My best advice is to use a light meter app while stepping the ISO down by 4. So set the iso to 25 when using this film. Then take the shot. And I less you’re feeling really confident I’d bracket it 1/2 up and down.

Many people are saying that they're using a r72 IR filter. Why do you need this if the film is sensitive to only IR?

Asked by: Brett

This film has a normal panchromatic + IR sensitivity range. It goes to 820 nm - the highest available I'm aware of. Some go to 750nm but that's lame IR. To record ONLY IR light (with quite dramatic results), you need to use an IR filter. I use a wratten 87. It filters out all visible light and only allows IR. Because IR light is in a small band on the EM spectrum, the film is rather slow. In broad daylight, I expose 4 seconds at f/8 with the 87 filter - but make your own tests. Hope this helps.

Given that this film is less sensitive to IR light than visible light, what ASA should it be shot at for infrared photography?

Asked by: Tyson

It depends on the filter you use with the Rollei Infrared 400 Black and White Negative Film (35mm Roll Film, 36 Exposures). Some say, exposing the film at a maximum of ISO 25 and using an R72 dark red infrared filter or deeper infrared filter. Note it takes experimentation and trial and error

Is this film sensitive to the wavelenhth at Hydrogen Alpha (656.281 nm) what are its reciprocity characteristics and is it generally useful for astrophotography?

Asked by: Enrico

Rollei INFRARED has an infrared range of (650 – 750nm). According to Rollei, the reciprocity is 1.43. IR film needs IR light which is more available during the day. Shooting it at night would be experimental.

Has anyone out there worked with the old (discontinued) Kodak B&W infra red? I used to shoot it a lot back in the day and am wondering how this compares to it?

Asked by: Holly

The Kodak film was so much more sensitive to IR that regular black and white contrast filters were enough. I used to use it with dark yellow, orange and red filters to great effect. I never owned an IR filter until after Kodak discontinued its IR films (I was a great fan of the color IR film). I have shot a lot of black and white film and digital IR and color digital IR and sold a number of prints in my former gallery, but I sorely miss the Kodak films. I found the Maco and Efke films a forced compromise and am under-impressed with Rollei and Ilford. The Ilford, more an extended red sensitivity film, is basically not that much more IR sensitive than T-Max 100. For those who never had a chance to experience true IR films, I guess that is all you have.

question

I have an old (1986) Minolta 35mm film camera. Will this film work in that camera?

Asked by: winnie

Winnie, Most likely, yes. And, of course, the best way to know for sure is try a roll. Just a few things that could cause problems: Light leaks--The light seals in cameras that old sometimes disintegrate, but can be replaced.Infrared beam frame counter--Some cameras with built-in motorized film advance use a tiny infrared beam to count sprocket holes passing by, and this beam will fog IR film, on the edge at least. If your camera doesn't have motorized film advance, you have no problem.Textured pressure plate--I've read that with Kodak IR film a textured pressure plate could create a pattern on negatives. That's because the Kodak film had no anti-halation backing, but most films DO have this backing, so it probably wouldn't be a problem with Rollei film.I've been shooting Rollei IR with a couple of Nikon bodies from the '80s with no problems.Hope this helps.
