Hi,
I have used the ILFORD SFX200 and found it ok.
There are a few musts with using this film its not a true INFRARED film but the effects can be achieved using a deep red filter and a tripod.
I used the Cokin P series filter system and because of the deep red filter you really have to use a tripod as it reduces the shutter speed.
I found it a bit cumbersome as you have to manually focus and meter before you apply the filter and when applied you cannot see through the viewfinder!
You really have to use this on days where there is plenty of sun with clear or big fluffy cloudy skies!I have an IR page on my site with some samples put through the IR filter on photoshop CS3 !! (sorry i know this ia a film forum)
hope this helps!
This is what I posted just before you about the ilford IR non IR film!

Hi Aimee,
I posted earlier in the topic about ILFORD SFX.
Oh sorry aoluain, I did see that. Had a look at your IR stuff. Looks great.
Is some of it quite noisy?
Didn’t know you could shoot IR colour!
AimsYea it is noisy for an ISO 200 rated film.
As far as I know its very hard to get colour IR film.
The advantages the ILFORD has is that it will work with any film slr,
with True IR film as was mentioned before if your camera uses
infra red light to align the transport of the film causing a fogging effect on
the IR film.I have an EOS 5 film camera which I use the ILFORD on but I cannot use
True IR film!You will also have the problem of getting your IR film develloped. Because DIgital
has become so popular many labs have massively reduced their stock of
film in general.A
Try a roll of IR film in your camera Aimee and see for yourself if it fogs much of the film, I doubt it will.
Will give it a go maybe…damn shops all shutting down.
Where would one get IR dev’d?
There are 3 places remaining for our August 16th “Introduction to Infrared Film Photography” workshop. It will cover all the questions discussed in this thread plus many more. The best part though is being guided step by step while using the film.
If anyone is interested please let me know.

Gunns can do it for you.
Yea thats where I got my film and got it developed.
They seem to be busy!!!Due to the excessively bad weather over the past few weeks and with heavy rain and flooding forecasted for tomorrow, we have decided to put this workshop back to the 30th August. A second date has also been arranged for the 13th September and we are taking bookings for both.
Thanks for your understanding for those who were booked for tomorrow. Although David from Kerry sounded a bit relieved, LOL.

The Infrared workshop on 30th August is now full but there are places available for the next one in Portlaoise on 13th September which will be the last infrared workshop for 2008.
