EFKE-IR 820c, unlike Kodak HS-IR, produces a beautiful brown tone in developer 2-sepia.
The advantages to the efke-IR film is the larger sizes and much finer grain. This film is also less sensitive to IR loading procedures. We still recommend you load this film in a very shadowed space, total darkness is unnecessary because of it's anti-halation backing. An exposed roll of 120 or 127 must be protected after exposure. This films range; 0iso - 20iso (to view below images larger: right-click / view image].
