How they look
- Infrared 400
- Near-infrared sensitive B&W film (to about 750 nm) on clear polyester; with a 695-720 nm filter gives the classic white-foliage 'wood effect'. Rollei rates it ISO 200-400 without filter.
- Washi Z
- Near-infrared-sensitive aerial vegetation-mapping film (to ~750 nm) with good green separation.
