Yes, massive problems, I had dust shadows cast on the film on many,
many occasions and had to abandon it in the end as I ruined a whole
roll of precious HIE.

The filter was a gelatin one, perhaps using one of WJ's polyester 87c
filters will works. I would be very interested to know whether using
one of these does the trick as the concept of the filter in the rails
is a brilliant one.

best of luck, let us know how you get on.
