antonio_carusone Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Does it exist in 120? I know Kodak makes it but I can't find a 120 version. I'm looking to get that silver tone I see in a lot of black and whites. Does anyone know what film produces that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

q.g._de_bakker Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Antonio,<br><br>None of the samples you provided look like they were taken using IR film. 'Plain old', but very finely handled, ordinary B&W film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert hall Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Try Calumet for Maco IR film in 120. It is quite different than Kodak, I rate it at 1/2 asa (or rather expose it at 2 seconds at f/16) for shadow detail, others rate it a little higher. Maco has a newer version, probably the one you will order from Calumet, that has a higher speed. I've not used that to know what the speed would be. I also use a 720nm cutoff filter, very dark red, b+w 092 I think, Hoya 72, etc. It is a panchromatic film and needs the dark filter in order to get the "wood effect" or ir effect you are looking for. I believe I mention it on my web site, http://www.RobertHall.com Feel free to email me with any questions. Robert Hall www.roberthall.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas5 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Freestyle Photo has some Rollei R3 film that isn't ungodly expensive. I think it's $8 US a roll. You might try them. <br> <br> I also agree with Q.G. that none of those images you show are IR. Maybe the first one, but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmichaels Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I still swear by 120 HIE. Great film. Downside it that it'll only be available for less than a year more, now costs $20 a roll, and is only available from DavidRomano.com. But nothing else has the IR sensitivity or speed. I keep filling the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_metaphor Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Antonio- www.bhphotocom sells Rollei 400 ISO infrared 120 film, $8.49 a roll. Its the same emulsion as the Maco IR film. FORZA ITALIA!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan_brittenson Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Maco 820c, a fine (but expensive) 100 speed film. With a Hoya R72 I shoot it at EI 6, so a tripod or other support is a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarek majcher Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Maco 820c is the best. Available in all sizes up to 4x5. At sunny day with 720nm black filter should be rated at ISO 6-10. Jarek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotohuis RoVo Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The only IR 120 roll film which is in production is the Rollei IR-400 from Rollei/Maco. The (Maco) IR820C is out of production. Kodak HIE is not available in 120 roll film. Use this Rollei film at least with a 665nm filter and not over 715/720nm IR filters to get any 'wood' effect. Rate this film with a 715nm filter at 12-25 iso depending on the IR circumstances. Here is the data sheet: http://www.fotohuisrovo.nl/documentatie/RolleiIR-400.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smlg Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I recently picked up a couple rolls of the Rollei 400 IR film... anyone have some tips for shooting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotohuis RoVo Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Here you can find all actual info about this film, including a German test (Fine Art Foto) and some recommendations of Rollei/Maco itself:http://www.digitaltruth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=229&sid=f9c51237e834c3086b994d830e9398a7 Best regards, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
