Wow

i know it's not very constructive .... the subject and the background are simply stunning, and the b&w contrast is superb, hope you'll print that one, congrats

Thanks. I've got large prints of the top snap. They look great. Love to burn B/W IR film. There's more where they came from.

I have my local Pro lab soup my B/W IR film. Not much different than standard B/W (Neopan 400, ACROS, etc) except that you can't remove it from the black plastic film container, unless your in total darkness.

The Efke IR 820 asks to be (un)loaded in subdued light. Mine is currently hanging in the darkroom Smile

When I saw the white grass, I instantly thought at an IR film Very Happy Nice use of the dark sky Wink

Carbon

What speed are you rating your Efke at? Is it the "Aura" version? You metering through a filter or not? Using R-72 filter?

Thanks

I rated it at something like 1-1,5 isos, and it worked good (it gives a typical 1/15s at f/2.8 on a bright day), it is not stated as Aura. I meter with my Leningrad 4 light meter at 3 isos and remove 1 stop or more, it was exposed with my Hoya R72 filter, lens was S-M-C Takumar 35/2, Rodinal 1+50 for 14 min Wink

Once I'll try this Efke ir820. Infra is something that attracts me.

Black film container is really enough?
...and you have to load film into camera in darkness too, aren't you?
There is totally science about lenses that doesn't create white center spot. What is your experience Russ and CarbonR?
