[LargeFormat] InfraRed

[philip Lambert]

I see on www.mrcad.co.uk that one can buy inrared film and a filter, e.g 25
sheets 5x4 £36. Maco brand "handling and processing as Kodak HIE". Has
anybody tried this and is the winter season a practical time to start?. My
black velvet loading bag is light-tight - does this mean it's infra-red
tight?
The film is also available in 35mm so one might first experiment on this.
The same site has "Genius" lith film at e.g. 25 sheets 5x7 £14 and Maco B&W
up to 20x24 although I did hear a man say it was grainy.....maybe - but he
never said what exposure/ developer he used.  Philip
