ultra violet film?

[corey]

I have a about 20 rolls of ultra violet film in my freezer that I

have never used because of lack of knowledge, could someone tell me

if there is any thing I should know about shooting this stuff or do I

treat it just like any other film, also how and where can I get it

developed and if I like it where can I buy some more?

Thanks in advance for your response

Could you possibly mean IR film,not UV?The only UV film I have ever heard of is Polaroid UV for making secure photos that are only visible under UV light.

Corey,

 

You'd have to specify which emulsion you have. Kodak (and others) did manufacture some UV sensitive films and plates in the past.

What does it actually say on the packages?

 

I'm not sure if they actually make a film specifically for ultraviolet, because most films are sensitive to UV. You might try a websearch on UV photography. I seem to recall that for color film, the preferred choice is tunsten-balance film, which is less sensitive to the red end of the spectrum.

 

If it's infrared, do a search on photo.net for the specific kind and you should get lots of hits- fairly popular. If it's Kodak film, check their website for info:
