Re: Kodak HIE & 4x5 Film Holders

James-
      You shouldn't have any problems with your Lisco holders and HIE. I've
used all kinds of holders and the only ones that were totally unusable were
the original Mido. They later made some that were infra safe. When I'm out
shooting, I keep my holders in a small picnic cooler with some "blue ice"
at the bottom. The holders at the top aren't too cool to use and when one
is exposed, it gets shuffled to the bottom. Though 35mm and 4x5 HIE are
different films, you can probably get a good idea of what to expect by
shooting some 35mm. Hope this helps.
