Rollei was founded in 1920 and is known for its top-of-the-line Rolleiflex and Rolleicord medium-format cameras. No longer producing cameras, MACO is now the licensee of the Rollei brand products, that includes a line of black and white films. Rollei’s films range from 25 ISO panchromatic fine-grained film to other film types like the near-infrared 400 ISO and the ultra-sharp Ortho Plus 25 ISO orthochromatic.

Rollei INFRARED is a hyper-panchromatic black and white film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 200-400 up into the infrared range (650 – 750nm). When used with an infrared filter, the characteristic "infrared" look can be achieved, making it ideal for scientific applications or highly creative landscape photography. 

Without an infrared filter, it acts like an ordinary, high-sensitivity black and white film with high resolving power, fine grain, and high edge sharpness. It is coated onto a clear PET film base, which makes it also makes it very suitable for developing as a slide using the appropriate chemistry.

Lucy V. ★★★★★

Finally a film that handles infrared without the usual finicky exposure gymnastics. The 35mm roll kept its highlights smooth even when I pushed it two stops, and the grain stayed pleasantly tight. Only wish the box gave more specific development times for different filters.

Aurora ★★★★★

Shot a roll at box speed on a bright day and the infrared response gave my shadows that dreamy, ethereal glow I’ve been chasing. The 35mm format handled the highlights beautifully without blowing out, even in harsh midday sun. Glad I finally tried this stock.

Penelope P. ★★★★★

The grain structure on this 35mm roll is incredibly smooth for a black-and-white infrared stock, and the deep contrast on highlights came out exactly as I hoped. I've shot plenty of similar films, and this one handled long exposures without fogging issues near the edges.
