4x5 HSI

["Russ Rosener" <rrosener@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm going to take the plunge into 4x5 IR photography using my old
Crown Graphic. I believe I have the 5 dot fidelity film holders mentioned
here as being IR safe. Before I blow this expensive box of film, any advice
would be appreciated. I'd like to tray process using either Rodinal or TMAX
developer, so any advice there would also be appreciated. 
    Does the 4x5 film respond to filters much the same as the 35mm HIE? I
plan on using the wratten 25 red, but wonder if a gelatin or Polyseter film
holder would not be a better item to get with a #87 equivalent. So any web
pages or examples list members could point me to would be much appreciated.
    And one final note, I've posted a new gallery of some 35mm IR images,
all shot with a #25 red filter, HIE, and processed in TMAX developer. The
developer seemed to be way too strong at 1:4 dilution, and much dodging and
burning was required. Next time I may try it at 1:9 for 10 minutes.
