The details
At a glance: Ilford SFX 200 - extended-red-sensitivity 35mm B&W film for near-infrared creative photography.
About this film
Ilford SFX 200 is an extended-red-sensitivity black-and-white 35mm film - the red-sensitivity extends into the near-infrared spectrum, allowing photographers to shoot infrared-style images using a deep red filter on the lens. Interesting creative film for atmospheric landscape/portrait work.

Best for
A characterful Ilford B&W film - SFX's extended red sensitivity (reaches into near-infrared) means with a deep red filter (like a Hoya R72 or Ilford SFX filter) you can achieve classic 'infrared' effects: dramatic dark skies, glowing white foliage, pale skin. Not true infrared but close enough to give the effect.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a filter for the IR effect?
Yes - a deep red filter (like Hoya R72) is essential for the infrared effect. Without a filter, SFX 200 just acts as a normal ISO 200 B&W film. With the filter, exposures need to be much longer (roughly 4-6 stops compensation) - tripod recommended.

Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
