RE: Starting with EIR

["Jason Revell (in5)" <jason.revell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can see nothing wrong with what you are suggesting in doing, but
dispite what Kodak tell you DO NOT need to load this film in
total darkness!

The first roll of this I shot I just loaded in office at work, lots of
daylight
and when it was finished ( about 1 month later as I was waiting for
some pigments to arrive) I just sent it off to the lab.  I then got a
call
from them saying it had to be kept in darkness and they had put
it back into a tub for me !

The film came out perfectly O.K. with using a Cokin 001 (yellow)
filter, though if you are using it with only electronic flash I found
the
best results were closer to 120 asa.  Do bracket about a one to
one and a half stops each side as due to the high contrast of the
film the results can look quite different.  Does anyone have any
ideas about how to lower the contrast, other than AR-5 processing?

Hope this helps and enjoy your roll !
