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.

I use this film very often! Always manages to create extremely striking images. B&H always sends it on time and for a reasonable price!

Better than I expected

I last shot Rollei IR400, in 120, back in 2009, and didn't have the best luck, mainly because I did such a poor job developing it myself. I then shot mostly Efke IR films until those were no longer available, then I stopped shooting IR. I bought two rolls of the Rollei from B&H recently to give it a try.  First, I'm quite impressed by the grain for a nominally 400 speed film. It's not as good as Delta 100 or TMX, but it's easily better than most 400 speed films.  On the IR part, based on Rollei's suggestion and other information, I set the meter to ISO 250 and shot 6 photos with: no filter, Red #25, Hoya R72, then shot a bunch just with the R72 filter, still at ISO 250.  If you want to shoot this without filter or with a more normal red filter, ISO 250 would be a good starting point. For my 2nd roll, I'll shoot all with the R72 filter and set the camera to ISO 400, as the ISO 250 images were just a bit dense. This is with a Leica M6TTL, trusting the meter to read through the filter, and other meters may read differently, so it's best to test. I like the IR effect, not as strong as Efke (especially the Aura), but still a good effect. If I set the M6 to 400, I'll get ISO 25 equivalent, so I'll be able to hand hold shots, which should be fun. For the first roll, I shot everything on a tripod. I'll definitely keep shooting this film, possibly in 4x5 again in the future. Attached photos show the 3 versions of the same image.
