Re: E-6 Infrared Filter?

["Leonard Flanagan" <ldflan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about the E-6 film, but for flash filters I have had good 
results with plexiglas IR filter material (used commercially for the little 
red window on your tv which covers the IR remote control sensor/pickup).  It 
should work for an IR filter too, though I haven't tried it.  It's fairly 
inexpensive stuff, and I know there are some folks selling it on the web.
