First Infrared attempt

Not as good as I had hoped for... The film is a bit grainy for my taste.

    nice pic. if you like a less grainy film, try rollei IR400S. My absolute favourite.

    Thanks for the tip @c5gebj2! Friday I received the Rollei IR400S I ordered last week, so I am ready to try that one :-). Question: what ISO do you shoot the rollei when using an R72 filter? I shot the efke film at ISO4 and that seemed to work, but I have no idea about the rollei... Any help would be welcome!

    I'm using a Heliopan RG715 filter. This should be similar to your filter. I use the settings for ISO 25. The main advantage is that you don't really need a tripod. For development I use Rodinal 1+50 12min. Gives really nice results.

    Thanks for the help @c5gebj2! I will run it on ISO 25 and keep my fingers crossed ;-)
