TECHNICAL INFORMATION
SFX 200
BLACK AND WHITE CAMERA FILM WITH EXTENDED RED
SENSITIVITY FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY
ILFORD SFX 200
is a medium speed black and white camera film for creative photography. It has extended
red sensitivity (up to 740nm) and is especially suited for use with a red filter to create special effects. For
example, by using a very deep red filter, skies can be rendered almost black, and most green vegetation almost
white. Its unusual tonal rendition ensures interesting results for a range of subjects, including portraits,
landscapes, townscapes and architecture.
Best results are obtained in bright sunshine, or in the studio under tungsten lighting.
SFX also has full panchromatic sensitivity to ensure good pictorial contrast with or without the use of a filter. It
has a wide exposure latitude and is compatible with all normal developers. It has a wide tonal range.
AVAILABILITY
SFX 200 film is coated on 0.125mm/5-mil grey acetate base which gives good halation protections.
SFX 200 is available in 36 exposure DX coded cassettes, suitable for all 35mm cameras.
SFX 200 is also available as120 roll film, edge numbered 1 to 19.
EXPOSURE RATING
SFX 200 has a speed rating of ISO 200/24° to daylight.
The ISO speed rating was measured using ILFORD ID-11 developer at 20°C/68°F with intermittent agitation in
a spiral tank.
It should be noted that the exposure index (EI) range recommended for SFX 200is based on a practical
evaluation of film speed and is not based on foot speed, as is the ISO standard.
