  Greetings all.  New to this list.  I have terrible grammer and 
spelling, so instead of torturing you all with a bio more boring than 
repeats of "Barney", suffice to say I have occasion shot IF, black & 
white only, for over 15 years now, but not too much.

  I recently moved to medium format from 35mm (Mamyia C330 outfit) and I 
have just tried my first roll of the new Konica IF film, which, I 
beleive, is one of the few, if not only B&W IF films in 120 format.

  Anyhow, I shot off a bunch of pictures of the front of my house, suing 
no filters,, through Y-O-R and a IF filter.  I have a good B&W (brand 
name - not thtype of film) IF filter that blocks all but IF light.

  Anyhow, following development instrucitons, (I have my own darkroom for 
B&W - film that is this time.  Confusing, eh?) my film was a total 
wasout.  Severe under exposure.

  Has anyone used this film, and do they have any suggest film sppeds and 
times.  There are no listed film speed, but I am wondering if it is as 
low as say 25 ISO.

  There where lots of white fluffly clouds, lots of very green grass and 
trees in the pictures, so I know there was lots of IF light there.  I 
really feel the problem was my misjudgment of exposure.

  One more thing - I see there is another amature astronomer in here!  
Great!  Aside from photography, astronomy is my other main hobby in life.
take care
joe
