Hi,

    Jaap Loos pretty well answered the above, but since I've gotten quite a
bit from the list I thought I'd contribute. Basically I could never figure
out Kodak's warnings about heat for this film. I shot over 100 rolls of HIE
during a one year trip through Africa. I traveled by car from Amsterdam to
Cape Town. The film was always in the car, in a metal lock box, when not
being used. During that time I spent 6 weeks in the Sahara desert where it
was always over 40 degrees C every day. In Niger it hit 52 degrees for a few
days. Not one frame fogged. Many of these images are being sold by a major
stock house and some have been sold as fine art prints. I hope to have a web
site up in the next several months where they will be posted.
