SFX 200 film from Ilford is a premium B&W film created for high-quality and high-detail infrared photography. Pair it with an intense red filter for unique and powerful images.
As always with infrared we recommend aiming your camera at full vegetation and dramatic skies. Or experiment with portraits and flashes for a very different look!
Ilford was founded in 1879 in the English town of the same name. They are B&W royalty in the photography industry thanks to their 140-year heritage and their support for photographers with chemicals and development as well as film. In the mid-20th Century they produced several well-regarded camera lines (including one given to Princess Elizabeth that was later stolen!) but today they are focused on producing the best films and development processes that they can.

Doesn't produce the IR effects of Rollei IR even if you use a red filter. Also tried with IR filters. However, very good results and good speed.

Tried this out in the Lomography Fisheye 2 with a Hoya r72 filter. The camera doesn't have a tripod hole these were hand-held long exposures of around 10 seconds (perhaps a little overexposed due to the strong light conditions). Fun as an experimental black and white film to get those dreamy white foliage and clouds. Interesting results if you play about with colourising these in post too.

SFX: Out of the red..?
I had another roll of this shizz, so while I gave it three stars because I didn't exactly fall in love with it the first time around, I gave it a second chance.
These was shot in stronger - as in right over the back of your loaf lighting - and they're not so bad.
I never got the infra-red vibe out of it, despite using a red filter so dark even Nostradamus would struggle to see through it.
And noisy, probably not helped by dropping the blacks a bit and giving the contrast a tickle in post.
But it's given me an idea - like give the wolf a blast of flash next time - so maybe good enough to get another roll in the stash.

SFX: Don't take it as red
Shot it through a red filter as suggested and the results were just too noisy for my liking.
You'd probably do better with one of the bog-standard mid-speed films like HP5 if this is anything to go by.
