Les,

Thank you for the information.  Have seen a report on the Panoscan Digital
camera and full credit to you for trying it out with an IR filter.
Hopefully you will be doing a few more IR panos for us to experience.

The World's Fair site looks to be a wonderful place for an IR shoot with a
standard setup anyway.  Given the run down nature of the area is personal
safety an issue?

We are fed a diet of pulp sensation movies here and I don't fancy trying to
retrieve my camera from a hungry 20 foot cockroach - or even a 6 foot one
come to that ;-)

All the best,

             Clive    http://cocam.co.uk
