Infrared Film for Creative Photography

Rollei Infrared 400 is a 35mm black and white negative film with 36 exposures per roll. Its panchromatic emulsion reaches sensitivity up to 820nm at ISO 400, delivering a unique tonal range for artistic and scientific work. The film suits photographers who want infrared effects without digital conversion. It is not for shooters who need standard colour rendition or conventional black and white latitude.

Loading and Handling

The special coating improves film transport inside most 35mm cameras, reducing jam risk during advance and rewind. Polyester base adds tear resistance but can feel stiffer than acetate stock, so confirm your camera handles polyester without excessive tension. Infrared sensitivity demands total darkness when loading and unloading; a changing bag or darkroom is essential. The film is not for cameras with infrared frame counters that fog the emulsion.

Archival Stability and Scanning

Polyester support rated LE 500 provides the highest archive stability for long-term negative storage. Fine grain and high contrast produce sharp scans with minimal artefacts, ideal for digital workflows. Extended red sensitivity requires dedicated infrared filters to achieve characteristic effects, adding exposure compensation steps. The film is not for projects needing quick turnaround without filter experimentation or lab processing tailored to infrared emulsions.
