Infra red photography

    Thinking of giving this a go. I have a Yashica Mat medium format camera, and some Ilford SFX film.

    I've been Googling some tutorials, and there seems to be conflicting advice as to whether I need a filter or not.

    Anyone know? And if so, anyone have any idea what filter I need? Tried to find out myself and it's making my head spin. :)

    Get yourself the SFX plastic filter. It's the equivalent to the R72 which this film requires to achieve an infrared effect. The SFX filter is a cheap way to get you started.

    Although you're going to have to find some way of jimmying the filter onto the yashica mat. It's a plastic filter so youu could probably cut it to size and fit it into a spare B30 or bay 1 filter or whatever it is precisely that the mat takes.
    I've never actually put a roll of IR through mine, despite the fact that it's probably a better bet than an SLR in that you can still focus and compose with the filter in place.

    That sounds ideal - it's just for this single roll of film, so don't want to spend much. Any ideas where I can get hold of one?

    There was a sort of value pack where you got a few rolls of film plus the filter but I'm not sure if thats still available. I got one years ago from 7dayshop but I don't see it available now.
