AGFA Rollei IR film

[bobbotron]

Up until recently BHphoto sold this film in 2 packs. It was a great way to buy this film, much better deal than per roll. It looks like it's discontinued now and the 35mm single rolls are back ordered... Does anyone know if somethings up, or where I could buy the film in 2 packs, or some other bulk order?

I do not know about here in the U.S., But Macodirect seems to have it. they are in germany, it takes about 2-3 weeks to get it. if you buy in bulk, it saves money, i.e. strong dollar, up to 2 kilos for 25 Euro to ship.

I had just purchased some last month. I don't know if anything is going on with it; you could try Adorama or Freestyle.

If you need an IR fix, however, Rollei Retro 400s has some IR sensitivity, and I hear the 80s does as well. Unfortunately, they also seem difficult to find in 35mm at the moment. Here's a thread I started some time ago, with some examples of the 400s:

If I am not mistaken, Rollei films are getting a makeover in packaging. Once that's in place the supply will start coming again. That should be why B&H says the single rolls are out of stock. The new stock should be in the new packaging. I remember the two packs myself, of RPX film at B&H. Now it comes in Ilford style boxed single rolls. It appears to be the same story at the Maco website where the films are actually packaged. The little 2 packs have disappeared. The IR film is also shown in a new package on the Maco site. A single roll in a shiny black box like Ilford films used to come in.

I have two rolls of the 80s actually, that I'll play with soon, and probably try some IR shots with it. I guess I'm just sad to loose steam with the 400 IR as I like to shoot a few rolls in a row of one film type to really get a feel for it. This will be my first IR roll in the summer, I shot two rolls last winter.

Thanks for the info 37th Exposure, good to know! For what it's worth, the two packs of 80s are available on BH still.

I think eddy was noting there is a 20% rebate right now on Rollei films at freestyle.

How does this film compare with the IR films of the past like Efke IR820 or EIR?

Both at B&H and Freestyle single roll is USD 9.99.

You can get from maco directly but shipping would be economical if you buy more films / other stuff.

3.78 Euro/ roll upto 9 rolls and 3.53 Euros from 10 roll onwards : http://www.macodirect.de/films-blackwhite-films-35mm-films-rollei-rollei-infrared-p-401.html

Or buy a bulk roll and roll your own 2.24 euros for 18 rolls : http://www.macodirect.de/films-blac...lei-rollei-infrared-400s-35mm-305m-p-402.html
