Hello
I order a box of sheets 4X5 Rollei Infrared 400.
Does anyone knows what camera is proper for infrared use?
Wooden like Wista with leather bellows?
Polycarbonate like Toyo 45CF with plastic bellows?
Metal body with leather bellows like Fatif?
Also
I use Jobo tank for my other b&w sheets
Ii this ok for infrared?
Thank you for your time

I use the Rollei IR 820/400 in 35mm and 120 roll film.
Development is in a Jobo tank (1510 or 1520) without any problem. Also the loading and unloading in the camera can be done in very subdue light.
Important is the right IR filtering: RG695 (89B) or RG715 (88A) or Hoya 72R (RG720).
With above filters you have an iso rate around 12- 25 with this film.

What I know about the sheet film that it's pretty thin.
