Tom -

Can you describe it a little?  Does it have a "rubberish" inside?  When we
last had this conversation, those types of bags were good, and someone
posted the manufacture and make of an IR opaque bag, though I no longer
have the post.

Certainly.

In fact I have two, when the arm elastic went I bought another (different)
one whist it was being fixed, in case it went again.

The first which I have had for about 15 - 20 years is small at 16 x 18
inches but OK for 35mm. It is soft and rolls up really small and will go in
a pocket. It bears the legend "made in Japan". No surprises there. The
outside feels like silk. the inside is a smooth black rubber. Inside that is
another black bag made of cotton. both are zipped.

The second is larger at 25 x 28.5 inches and is much thicker and stiffer.
The outer bag is a thicker rubberized material, rubber inside and a sort of
rubber + cotton (?) outside. The inner bag is black silk.

I have used both for IR frequently and without fogging, although I use
common sense and find the shadiest/darkest area I can, even if it is only my
own shadow.
