Checking Out Rollei Superpan 200

[Andrew O'Neill]

Had some fun with this film...

Thanks Andrew. I shoot a lot of Superpan 200. Primarily because it has a polyester base but now you seemed to have have verified the extended red properties.

Hmm...I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from that, Andy. I couldn't see much of a Wood effect but maybe it was not the best sort of foliage for it or not yet advanced enough into the Wood season for the IR effect

I have used a lot of Superpan, and yes Red and DeepRed work fine.
Havent tried 720nm but I have a roll loaded in the AMBI Silette, so might as well.

I think it was because there wasn't much IR energy about at the time... But there certainly was a lot more Wood Effect than would a conventional film wood, er...would give...

Is this film not Aviphot 200, which several users prefer to expose at lower EI? Maybe you had a low contrast scene Andy.

Developer for Aviphot Pan 200

Agfa Aviphot Pan 200 is sold for aerial photography and for this purpose gives a high contrast as the land photographed has relatively low contrast. I believe it is sold in 35mm eg as Rollei Retro 400s.The resolution is up to 181 lppm. For aerial photography it is developed in Agfa G74c plus...

I agree that it is most likely Aviphot 200. The scene I was working with in the video was normal subject brightness range... It was in the morning, so I believe IR energy was quite low. The film performed better at at EI 3, with the 720 filter. I'll be taking this film out, along with Rollei IR, on a bright sunny afternoon very shorty
