Hi Pablo I've only used SFX with a 25 Red filter developed in D-76 stock solution. The results were slightly grainy but showed some of the white foliage/darker skies. The effect is nothing like true IR film but you can see a difference with sun/no sun. I was given a brick of out dated SFX which carried a warning sticker from Ilford that the old film should be rated at 100 rather than EI 200. I gather that as the film ages it loses its far red sensitivity first. If you want to see the effect I was getting try my old web site (which should still be up but don't tell roadrunner!) - try http://home.rochester.rr.com/prakel/exhibition/galdet5b.htm Regards David Prakel
