IR

My first Infrared Films - Konica 750nm expired some years ago. I expected something else to be frank. Not sure where the mistake is - old film or wrong exposure? There is hardly any IR effect. I followed the advise in the Internet and set the aperture between 4 and 5.6 and fixed the the time at 1/60. The vertical streaks may be explained in using a fixation bath (Zorki) which has been in the bottle for some time already. Films was loaded in a Zorki 4 & Canon AE1. Semi stand development in Rodinal 1+50 for 25minutes at 21 degrees.

    The vertical streaks are called bromide streaks or bromide drags. I kinda know how to make them happen but have never actually done it. The way to not have them happen is better agitation.

    @guypinhas With semi stand I only modestly agitated. I thought the streaks could have also been created by some kind of "under fixation" (or using old fixation bath).

    @rolfmg Yeah, even with stand development you need to agitate well when you do. Not like a cocktail but slow will create that effect. I have a friend who is very meticulous about making notations when he shoots and sometimes he will develop a roll on its own just to have those streaks/drags. It's like watching film development in slow motion :)

    Yes those streaks. Maybe from the agitation technique in development.
