Ilford SFX ISO 200 Black & White Infrared 120 Roll Film

ILFORD SFX 200 is a unique medium-speed black & white film designed for creative photography, featuring extended red sensitivity that allows for striking, near-infrared visual effects. With an ISO 200 rating, it offers a versatile balance of speed and image quality while opening up distinctive creative possibilities not found in standard films.

What sets SFX 200 apart is its ability to produce infrared-style images when used with filters. Paired with a deep red filter, it transforms scenes dramatically rendering blue skies almost black and foliage bright and ethereal, creating a surreal, high-contrast look.

Unlike true infrared films, SFX 200 is easy to handle and can be loaded in subdued light, making it far more practical for everyday shooting. It also works seamlessly with standard black & white developers, producing moderate contrast, fine grain, and sharp detail.

Beyond infrared-style photography, the film responds well to a variety of coloured filters—including yellow, orange, and light red—allowing photographers to experiment with contrast and tonal effects in creative ways.

Ideal for landscapes, experimental work, and artistic photography, SFX 200 offers a distinctive alternative to conventional black & white films while remaining accessible and easy to use.
