Well, I could have told you from experience that this would happen. <g> 
I was able to change HIE when I was in Wales by climbing into a closet,
closing the door as well as possible, and working in there.  Not
completely light tight but close.  No problems.

I got some rolls of EIR from Kodak a good while back, but felt the need
to wait until Spring before exposing them.  This is a fun film and I
hope everyone gets a chance to play with it.

BTW, I am considering the purchase of a Nikon 35Ti.  Does anyone know if
it uses an infrared sensor that would give me problems?
