Default New Rollei Infra Red film in Town

Hi...all,

I chanced upon the ultra rare Rollei Infra red 35mm B&W film when I was overseas. I brought a small amount back for those of you IR enthusiasts who may want to have a go at this wonderful film. This film was only launched in December 05 by Rollei. The stock never get a chance to come to this part of the world because the supply just couldn't keep up with the demand in Europe & US.

At the moment, there is still not many literature on the net about the film and its processing. But Rollei has made their own developer for processing this film. I have tried the film and have been made known that the lab that can do the devlopment properly is DR5 lab in LA, USA. This will prove to be excessive costs to us in ASIA to send to US for processing.

Good thing was when I brought the fim back, I also brought back the developer for processing the film. So, if you guys are interested to buy the films, I have the solution for you all as well. Please note that the film comes in black sealed canisters and is boxed in a cherrywood box with 10 rolls in it. 1 bottle of the developer is good enough to develop the 10 rolls. I would prefer to sell the film in 10 rolls per box with 1 bottle of the developer. The stop bath and fixer, u can use the normal ones.


Some special properties of this IR Film:

* if u shoot below ISO 400, it behaves as a panchromatic film.
* if u shoot above ISO 400, it behaves as a true IR fim with sensitivity up to 820nm.
* U do not need a IR filter in fron to shoot wth this film, just shoot normally.
* U do not need to load the film in complete darkness. Just do it in subdue light.
* if u shoot portrait wth it, just over expose it and you can get an aura effect with this film...


For more information, u can see the link:
