Hi,

I have always wanted to try IR and need to buy film and an IR filter.

Film I have got my head around I think... Rolliei and don't use a MOD54... I will try out tray processing! (In for a penny and all that... :eek: ).

But how deep a red filter do I buy??

Thoughts?

Yep, an R72 is the one recommended for the full IR effect, though it is almost opaque.

IIRC, Rollei mention different effects can be had by using an R25 too.

I use a Hoya R72 with Rollei. With the film being so thin, it will happily pop out of the holder in the combiplan and sp45. The bloke who invented the MOD54 came up with the solution of putting an ordinary film on the back of the Rollei.(the special films you do with no image at all for those special projects!) After development peel the backing film off and re soak to get the halide coating off. It works.

I have lots of those films :D
I might try some Rollei, do you have any examples of what you have done Diz
 
As luck would have it, I have just got back from a print showing in Dublin. One of my prints was on Rollei IR. Alas It is to big for the scanner, so snapped it on the phone. Taken in strong directional light at ISO 3. Developed in Rodinol @ 50:1
Cheers

Hi,

Thanks to all , I have the next batch of stuff to sell on eBay identified ready to post next week when wife working away... I can leave living room "a tip" for days at a time!

Great idea using MOD54 with additional backing sheet, better than learning tray developing! :eek: :confused:

So that's IR and colour film, mono chemicals, spot meter and a couple of IR 72 filters to fund... Better look out in the loft for some more "that-will-come-in-handy" objects to sell... :rolleyes:

I have one of those pop up bags and yes, they are great, the problem now is the they were branded Calumet and because Calumet no longer exists, everywhere is out of stock

I'm just ordered the films (sheet and rollfilm) and ir-filter.

Now it's time to study ir-photography on YouTube.[emoji846]

I was fortunate enough to buy the Calumet labelled tent. I use it on LF workshops when teaching folks how to load double dark slides. It's a bit like a parlour game, where everyone else sits around watching the facial contortions of the one chosen to undertake the task :cool:

Fortunately, chez moi, I have a lightproof storage room with a bench, attached to one of our bedrooms; what with a roll-down shutter on the outside of the bedroom window and the "light trap" the bedroom provides, it's so much more comfortable.

We don't have a real darkroom setup as we develop film in either a CombiPlan or a Paterson Orbital in the back kitchen and then scan it.
 
I tend to use the tent when i'm away from the darkroom and need to reload the holders.
