[anonymous] Processing SFX 200

By Raleigh

Using SFX 200 in the lightweight, large-format, Fujifilm 6x9 as a standard film (not for infrared effects) almost exclusively on the Wyoming High Desert, and in the Yellowstone back-country. Using a normal 25 red filter (add 2 stops) the effect is an expanded grey-scale - not the contrasty, often empty shadows (extreme blue-light filtration) of a red filter with ordinary panchro film. Can't explain the magic... Also, atmospheric haze vanishes (as expected), often to the point that negatives reveal what was not seen in the viewfinder. Processing: Go to the extra expense, and process SFX 200 in the recommended Ilfotec DDX (1:4 dilution) - it can be the secret ingredient... I'd love to see this film marketed in 4x5 sheet format.

Is everyone using this at the standard ISO or are you pushing or pulling it? Is so what are the effects?
Asked by: Kyle
Ilford SFX 200 Black and White Negative Film (120 Roll Film) can be push-processed to ISO 400 or ISO 800. Ilford suggest using ILFOTEC DD-X or MICROPHEN (stock) developer when push-processing.

question

what developer yields best results for this film? best results in terms of higher contrast, sharper image, infrared accuracy
Asked by: Vaughn S.
I use rodinal for stand dev / ilford DDX for normal. Stand brings out more halos. as far as contrast /sharp image /infrared accuracy is concerned its got more to do with how you expose the film.Buy 10 rolls and take notes..
