I recommend using this film with a wide angle lens to get the best results if you are shooting outdoors. Most surreal results are captured with the Red #25 filter or the near opaque infrared filter.
This yielded good results, but some of the negatives looked to be a tad underexposed. I will bracket next time. The prints were awesome except for the underexposed ones that led to a low contrast image on paper. The subject was an old graveyard-perfect for this film. It is recommended to be used in a manual camera body.
Loading in total darkness was a chore. I used a junk roll of film to practice with while I’m blindfolded many times before I mastered it. It’s grainy, but that adds to the surreal effect.
Simply the best film ever! can not wait to get my negatives back to see what surprises I will have..
