Re: Canon EOS 2000 and Konica 750

["David J. Carlyon" <david@xxxxxxx>]

The Konica IR film is not sensitive to the part of the IR spectrum that the
IR film counter uses, at least not in the Minolta 500si I traded recently
(for an 800si that doesn't have the IR film counter problem). You can also
load and unload the Konica film in daylight without fogging the roll, which
makes it less of a hassle to work with than HIE. The HIE will probably fog
your film along the bottom edge of the negatives - you can probably still
get usable images (I made do with my fogging problem for a while) by
cropping, or else vignetting the other edges when printing, to make them
match.
