Re: B&W IR w/Flash

[David Riecks <riecks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul:

I've done this before with an 87C over a Vivitar 285 (guide number 120?)
I've gotten reasonable exposure in the f/5.6 to f/8 range. Wide angle lenses
work better as you don't have to worry about IR focus correction as much. 

I rate my HIE about 200, and develop in D-76 (straight) for 9-10 minutes.
