Re: Help with Xtol development times for Ilford SFX in Jobo.

["Jaap Los" <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

Fred,
I have just bought 10 rollfilms 820 C  120 spool from MACO Hamburg Germany.
I will be starting to test them the coming weeks. From my experience with
the 35 mm version of MACO, the best filter to use is a B+W092 (Kodak 89B).
Then you get a nice wood-effect! A #25 red filter is too weak and it doesn't
look very much infrared like. Maybe a #29 dark red filter will do. I will
inform the LIST within a few months. In the mean time: don't give up!
Greetings,
Jaap Los

See also my infrared photography homepage at:
http://home.wxs.nl/~losjb/hometest.html
with lots of infrared photographs, some of them lith-printed.
