Hi, I recently bought this film: Dead Link Removed
from Film Photography Project, and I used a 25A filter as directed by them, I even stacked a polarizer on top to get more contrast in the sky, and to my surprise the photos turned out looking pretty much like normal black and white film, not the "white trees, black skies" that I was hoping for.
I'm wondering:
Should I have used an R72 filter instead of the 25A filter that they recommended for that film?
A friend told me there really isn't any "true" infrared film being made anymore, is that true?
If so, then is the Ilford SFX 200 and Rollei IR 400 film that I bought also not going to give me the white tree/black sky results I am looking for?
Any help in this area or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
