Hello Everybody!
Can you tell me where can I find INFO about how to make EXPOSURE for B&W Infra-red Film using Infra-red Filter and analog camera such as Nikon F401s.

Hi,

I am not used to do analog IR photography, I am doing it digitally only.
I guess you will not find a waterproofed guideline "do it like this and the result will be perfect" - at the end the exposure depends on a couple of drivers: Which filter, which film, how strong is the reflection of IR light....
All guidelines I know are quite rough and end up at "Try&Error" and get experiences....
I would check the info about speed settings etc given with the film and start with exposure bracketings round about the value given by the internal exposure meter.

Most web pages I know are focussed on digital IR (and are in German), so not reallz helpfull.
Maybe you take a look here

cheers, Olli


p.s.: I would check the compatibility of the F401 - a lot of modern SLR use an internal IR light to controll the position of the film, you could get problems....

i used to do a lot of film IR.
i set the ISO at 400. if using ID11 developer treat it as ilford FP4 film, same times. you may need to adjust this a bit as every day is different, the temperature may be the same, but the IR reflection is different.

Hi Oliver.

This might not be the right forum to post this question, but here goes. I've decided to start processing my own colour films ( negs & transparency), but every site that I've visited for the processing info (chemicals, sequence and times)has come up blank.
I can't even find C41 processing information on the Kodak site, so where does one go for the info.
Processing colour can't be a helluva' lot more complicated than b&w. Just more chemicals and critical temparatures.
Can you suggest a site to visit?

Kind Regards
John Sampson

I assume you're using a dark red filter?
Film?
Read the information leaflet carefully, and with your first film, bracket your exposures.
You'll need a tripod, as the effective ISO will be about 6.
