Re: UV film

[tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Benedict)]

Hahaha!  If your friend thinks IR photos show "auras", wait until you
get into a discussion with someone about Kirlian photography.  I keep
trying to explain it's an electrical discharge exposing the film, and
that you can get an "aura" out of a penny, rock, or floppy disk (but
don't expect your data to survive), but to no avail.

I'm curious how the UV pictures will turn out, too.  I've played around
with TMax and a weak UV filter (didn't have the money for a real one at
the time), and it did register UV, but it sounds like this other film
will do a much better job.

So any takers on how the focus shift will work out for the UV?  The
last time I brought this up I took a wild guess and said it would be the
opposite direction as the IR shift, but someone said it's likely to be
the same direction.  Any input?
