Strength:

I have a Nikon N80 I can't use "true" infrared films, so this is a great alternative. A great way to "get one's feet wet" with Infrared photography. Low grain, versatile, no dark room loading necessary, doesn't appear to be affected by temperature changes (doesn't need to be stored in a cooler like I've heard true infrared films do).

Weakness:

Hit or miss. Some of the pics turned out great, as if they were taken with a true infrared film: dark sky and BRIGHT white foliage. Others looked like plain old black and white pictures taken with regular film.

It's worth a try because it is low grain and it does have great possibilities. Definitely not something a pro would find useful. Great for experimental use and beginners/intermidiates like myself.

Similar Products Used:

None.
