Response to Infrared 120 or 220 films

from Pete Caluori (pcaluori@hotmail.com)
Greetings,

I can recommend Maco 820c and you can order it from B&H in NYC. When used with a 87 IR filter it produces a strong IR effect, though not quite the same as Kodak's HIE. HIE is not available in 120 or 220, but there is a person on the NET selling repackaged 70mm Aero IR, which is the same as HIE (http://infrared.homestead.com/). The nice thing about Maco's film is that it does have an antihalation coating, so it does limit the highlight "bloom" that is a trademark of HIE. Also, I have successfully loaded 820c at mid-day, in the subdued light of a car trunk, which is something I doubt could be done with HIE.

Regards,
