SFX is a black-and-white film from Ilford Photo with extended sensitivity into the near-infrared at 740nm. It can be used as a panchromatic film on its own, or with different red/infrared filters to give varying levels of the effect seen in infrared photography; i.e dark skies and bright plant foliage. Ilford makes a 'deep red' filter specifically for this film, but others can be used as well.

SFX was discontinued when Ilford went into receivership in 2004 as it is a niche product. On 2007-01-26, Ilford announced it would relaunch the film [cite press release
