Re: EOS and IR film

[Richard Fung <rfung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

I would be interested in seeing how much of the film is fogged when running
HIE through a Canon EOS with the IR counter. I have a Elan IIE and was told
that at least 4mm of the film would be fogged> would this mean that I could
get some decent film resolution and density in the other areas? I would just
enlarge and crop then.
