This film is based on aerial film technology. Superpanchromatic sensitization. This also makes infrared recordings possible. However, the IR effect is only clearly visible with an IR filter that blocks visible light below 715 nanometers (e.g. Heliopan RG 715). Ideal for getting started with IR or trying out IR in the Holga.

The Rollei Retro 400S exhibits a very strong S-shaped density curve when exposed to EI 400/27°. This results in a very high-contrast reproduction with very little shadow detail and clearly pronounced tonal value separation in the mid-tones. If this high-contrast reproduction is not desired, we recommend exposing the film 2-3 f-stops more and developing it with a shorter development time.
Photographers who prefer optimal shadow detail, use of sensitivity and an evenly graduated tonal scale will find the right film for them in conventional ISO 400/27° B/W films such as HP5+, Delta 400, T-Max 400, Tri-X or XP2 Super 400 itself.
