Hi Mitch.
I have used the IR 400 with the Hoya R72 filter. It gives quite strong IR effects. I’ve also used it with one which I think is 695um, (I don’t think that’s the correct unit, but the number is right), and again I found good IR effect. My only issue with it is the extreme contrast, which can be difficult to control in printing. I reduced development time at one point to try to achieve better negatives, but my results were a bit grey for my liking. I think that in situations where IR radiation is strong, high contrast is inevitable. The red filter may produce a more manageable negative. Interestingly, I think the RPX400 may also show IR effects if exposed through an IR filter. There was a film called Rollei 400S, or something similar, which definitely did. Effects were similar to IR400, but the film was less expensive. You could try a couple of frames on a roll, otherwise exposed normally, to see what happens.

You are right having not used ether film before the results are going to be interesting.

I will Barry, but I think it is going to be a slow going unless there is a break in the weather I am hoping the festive season will produce some bright days so I can enjoy the peace and quite and make some images

Hi Mitch. I think a normal red filter might be better if it’s very bright. With no filter it will look like ordinary film.

Barry’s picture above from Hartland is a great example of the effect with a standard red filter, rather than the full power IR types. There is certainly better shadow detail in that compared to some I’ve made using the R72.
