Oppoji Pagoda in IR

No contest IMHO. This is much the betterof the two. More detail and punchier. It's on that cusp of looking like a brilliantly lit normal shot and yet it's clear that it isn't a normal shot. Eye catching is no exaggeration. Looks a great film at EI12. Pity in some ways that to get this quality a tripod is essential but I guess you just have to recognise that its an essential with Efke IR820.

If you want Kodak speed then you put up with Kodak HIE drawbacks.
 
Thanks for the help and the kind words. Honestly I am having trouble choosing between the two.

Everything you said about this film is correct, a tripod is a must, but the results are great.


Thanx.
