Re: (Fwd) EOS and IR film

["Walton" <ronk@xxxxxxxx>]

     According to someones web page a lot of older Canons are OK.  I'm new
to IR B&W.  Only exposed 6 rolls of SFX 200 so far.  Used a 10s and didn't
see any effect around sproket holes.  I was kind of leary at first since
the 10s uses some kind motion sensor instead of gears like the 630.  If I
remember correctly you should be OK with these models.  620 650 630 10s and
older Rebel models before the Rebel X and some other older models.  If in
doubt just open the mack and look for the IR sensor.  I saved a 10s just to
use with IR film.  A friend of mine is using SFX in an A2.  He hasn't
processed any yet, but when he does i'll let you know the results.

     Has anyone heard anything about the rumored E-6 Infrared Ektachrome.
