Ilford SFX-200 120 Black&White, 200 ASA (1901029)

This is a "near-infrared" black and white negative film which can be used to obtain special effects. I have not used it with an infrared filter, but I found that with a yellow filter it will give the darker skies and a very slight "glow" to light clolored sunlit buildings, which I wanted for my landscape photos. I believe this may be because of the film's sensitivity to wavelengths near the infrared spectrum and is not due to overexposure. The film has "extended red sensitivity" (though not true infrared) but it also a great general film to use. It seems to be very forgiving with exposure and development. The pictures taken with this film have a different look to them, distinct from other black and white films I've used. It has more contrast, and tends to give a slight "glow" to some surfaces (for lack of a better description). But pictures are sharp, with very little or no grain.

It is a little expensive, but with the right lighting conditions and the use of filters, it can give some very interesting effects. It is also a great film to use for general outdoor pictures, especially landscape photos.

Very forgiving with exposure and development. Can be used to give special effects in landscape photos (although at least a yellow filter is recommend to get more benefit from this). Extended red sensitivity, but not true infrared, so you can handle and load it like a normal B&W film. Very little or no grain in pictures.

Price. It's expensive, more expensive than any other film I've bought. (Although definitely worth it).
