    So here my basic question.

    I shot a roll of efke IR820 B&W film during the weekend. I wanted to know if anyone has experience in developing this film. I have Ilfosol S at home and should I develop it as normal FP4 or should I push/pull.

    I've read the flickr group where they suggest soaking the film in the same temperature water as the developer before.

    EDIT: http://www.maco-photo.de/files/images/MACO_TA820c_ENG.pdf after reading this I'm still non the wiser.

    Thanks. I thought a shopping trip to Gunns was on the cards. In truth it probably still is.

    From comments I had elsewhere, I have to express surprise that you found actual, honest-to-god, infrared sensitive film!

    The Efke stuff has been around for a while, both as Efke and previously as a Maco film. There's some Rollei IR film and Ilford's SFX of course aswell, but it has a fairly low cutoff.
    I have a bunch of rolls of Efke Aura in the fridge waiting for some opportune moment. Its the same as Efke 820, but lacks an anti-halation layer. So you have to load it in as subdued light as you can manage, but it does that light blooming effect around the highlights that Kodaks IR film was known for.

    The Efke IR film is capable of very strong infrared effects when used with an R72 filter or equivalent. I develop mine in RO9 Special with good results.
