Hello.

I believe it is now sold as Paterson Acupan 800, as far as I know available
in several countries in Europe. I have used the Foma 800 in 120, but I have
not yet seen Acupan 800 in 120.

It is not an IR film.


By using some plain brute force, it is pssible to attach a 46 mm filter to
a Holga. Just screw it into the plastic.
