Rollei Ortho 25 vs Kodak HIE Infrared
The two ends of the spectrum.
The same photograph, same exposure, both looks at full strength. See the untouched original.
The difference
These are the extremes of spectral response. Ortho 25 is blind to red, so lips, skin and anything warm render dark — the way every photograph looked before panchromatic film arrived. HIE sees past red into infrared, so foliage glows white, skies go near-black and highlights bleed with a halo. Neither is a stylistic filter; both reproduce what the emulsion could physically see.
Which to use
Ortho 25
Period looks, still life, dark skin and lips, graphic contrast.
HIE Infrared
White foliage, black skies, surreal landscape. Raise the halation slider.
