Re: 120 Konica

 Hi Ben 

	your preference for the Konica may well just be that it is a "more
	normal" b&w film than the much more IR sensitive HIE. as to the HIE's
	grain, well - it's just part of the emulsion's "nature", to be either
	accepted or avoided as one wishes. However, it is sensitive further into
	the IR band than the Konica, which "peaks" around 750nano(?) as the name
	implies. the kodak is more around the 900nano region. others pay more
	attention to the specifics than these generalizations, but the fact is 
	that HIE is sensitive further into the IR band. I enjoy the look of both,
	myself. You may find, when you start trying the darker filters, that there
	is a point at which they block out too much of the IR in the Konica's
	response range. this is, of course, yields not very interesting images.

	I suppose someone w/ more experience than myself could say this better  ;^)
