Re: Minolta Cloth Shutter Curtains

[eml@xxxxxxxxx]

This is most surprising!  I have used SRT-101's for a million 
years and when shooting HIE and the old EIR, never had a hint
of a problem!  I even have an old Minolta handbook around here
somewhere with example IR photos in it, so I must assume
Minolta intended SRT's at least to shoot IR films.  As this is a camera
still available new, I'd contact Minolta directly (somewhere in
northern New Jersey) for assistance.
