Konica 120 infrared

[JoePaduano@xxxxxxx]

 To: Murray White--It is best to use an iso of 50 with Konica infrared & open
up 3 stops-2 stops for the red filter ( exposure comp. ) and 1 stop because
the film needs to be overexposed by 1 stop. The simplest way to use the film
is to keep the film speed setting constant, read for the existing light, make
the exposure compensation for the filter and bracket exposures one stop
either way. ( bracketing  is basically another way of altering the film speed
) Strong sunlight is best to achieve strong contrast & the infrared 'look' of
white vegetation.
 Infrared reflection is strongest at midday and in the summer. When there are
no leaves on trees , there is obviously less infrared radiation being
reflected in an outdoor scene. Konica 120 can be loaded in subdued light, so
you do not need to use a changing bag. To process the film, try Kodak D-76 at
68F for 6 min.
