Hi George,

The Nikon 35Ti does not have an IR sensor for film travel, it uses a low
friction plastic wheel (no teeth) to sense film movement. However, the
wheel probably turns a chopper wheel that intrupts an IR beam, and there
might be leakage through the wheel port into the film chamber (I have not
tried it out with HIE yet). 

Cheers,

Tom
