Default Rodinal and Infrared

Since the demise of the real Kodak B/W Infrared I have not bothered with IR.
However out of frustration I have tried the alleged "quasi" infrared films such as Rollei / Efke / Maco and have developed in Rodinal, but with not IR effect at all. Can anybody help with times and or exposures etc

Dave what filter(s) are you using on the lens?

I am glad you mentioned 'filter' Trevor as I think that could well be the problem too.
It is essential to use the nearly black red filter with these films. Rodinal should be fine but will be a tad grainy.

I have had reasonable success with Rodinal and Konica Infrared 750 ( I still have some left in the freezer).

I used a deep red 4X (not black) filter and rated at ISO 6.

Develop in Rodinal 1:50 at 20C for 6 minutes - agitate 5 seconds every minute.

Hope this helps.

If I could work out how to upload an image I would post an example.

Good luck.

Andrew

Hi and a warm welcome to FADU.

Filters for the current range of infrared films is a subject I am very interested in at the moment as we are down to just three cassettes of Kodak I/R in the freezer I wold love to see one of your images using the 4x red as a lot of experimentation is going here to find a good infrared film + filter combination.

Neil.

Thank you for the welcome.

Unfortunately I can't post images as the "posting rules" box states that I "may not" post attachments?? The same applies to pms.

I am happy to share the image - I just can't figure out how - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Sorry my mistake, I should have said that the forum configuration has been set to only allow uploads after the user has made 6 forum posts. Sorry for the inconvenience, it has been set this way to stop spammers from instantly uploading.

You are almost there!
