Brilliant!  Would you care to share your technique with us?  I will be
using a Koni Rapid Omega 6x7 rangefinder so can happily use the opaque IR
filter.  The focussing dial is actually marked for IR.  I was thinking
about modifying a couple of 120 reels to provide "guides" to keep the film
straight both when re-rolling and winding on.  Of the two methods I have
developed conceptually, one requires the 120 paper to be cut in 35mm
strips.......




All the best,
