I've been doing a bit of research into different film types recently and I've come across Ilfords sfx range. It has an extended red sensitivity and when used with a dark red filter it can produce IR like effects and I've decided to buy a roll as this sounds quite interesting.
Can anyone recommend a filter to use as there are varing degrees of "dark red" filter available and I'm not sure which one to buy? From doing a search of the forum I found out that it has an increased sensitivity on a 720nm wavelength so does this mean I need a filter to block out 720nm wavelength light like a Hoya R72 or would a B+W 091 filter be ok?
Is there anything else I need to do when taking pictures like overexposing as I'm blocking out some light? Can these films then be processed like a normal B+W film?
Any insight from someone else who has used this film would be greatly appreciated
