RE: Medium format (was: plastic sheets

["Michael Dziak" <fetch_the_ball@xxxxxxx>]

Ilford SFX200 is definitely going to be available soon for 120.  I was at a  
Ilford seminar for photography teachers last weekend where Wendy Erickson said 
they were testing the SFX 200 in 120.  She did not say when it would be 
available.  I,ve shot 2 rolls of the 35mm version with a #29 filter.  You 
could not tell it from ordinary panchromatic film with that filter..  Ilford 
says you need the B&W #92 infrared filter to get the right result.  The 
problem with that filter is its so dark you must use a tripod and zone focus, 
or focus then put on the filter to shoot.  I'll let you know what I find next 
week.
Happy shooting
Mike Dziak

Willem Jan,
Thanks for the information! Yes, it could be a good idea of trying 70 mm
HIE on my Bronica. At least I have then the advantage of having a larger
format for my enlargements although I'm not so much worried about the
grain of HIE. Still interesting!
Cheers,
Jaap Los
