It may sound good to you, but how does Konica make their color
3200 speed film in 120?  I haven't used the 120 personally, but I have
seen it listed in photo ads.  Maybe Kodak needs an excuse?  Or perhaps
the Kodak rollfilm paper is not up to the job, and it would be too
expensive to change it for one small-production product?  I'd be
inclined to believe one or the other, as IR films have been made by
all major manufacturers in rollfilm in the past.
