My apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, but Freestyle has the rumored Efke IR820 in stock in 35mm and 120 format with 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 on the way.

That's just great! Now I have yet another film to try.

I love Efke, this may be something to experiment with later. Thanks Efke & Freestyle!

Very awesomely fun.

I guess I'm going to have to actually buy the bunch of 77mm filters I've been threatening to buy, since the reddest I've got right now is a 25 red.

Just one more reason I like Freestyle and have for over 35 years.

Well, I ordered a few rolls and decided to finally pick up some more filters while I'm at it so I'll be sure to get some IR effects.

Can't wait to shoot this in my Rolleicord....
Is it the same emulsion as the old MACO? Always great to see a new IR film come out.

Efke's spec sheet describes a second version of the same film but with no antihalation layer (the so called 820c Aura). I asked them at Freestyle if they'll carry that one as well, but the person I'd emailed didn't think so. I wonder if there is a way to obtain that one as well -- who else carries Efke films?

I ordered some rolls of 120 and they arrived Friday I have never used this film before and have only used the Konica IR and Kodak HIE products.

Does anyone have any experience with using a Hoya RM90 filter? It's not mentioned in the spec sheet; and I much prefer the results of that filter compared to using red filters.
