<<I've (unfortunately) used the EOS 3 with HIE; the edge fogging intrudes well

into the image area, but even worse, there is a small oval hole in the

pressure plate (for a date back feature?) which shows up as an area of less

density on the negs - absolutely impossible to deal with in a darkroom, and

pretty difficult to tackle even on a computer.

I also keep an old Canon body for the same purpose. I'm not sure if Canon is 
the only 35mm manufacturer with this feature, but I think this is a valid 
question. Why would a company like Canon incorporate the IR focusing 
adjustment on its lenses and then design a body to make infrared film 
unusable? I'm guessing part of the reason is the IR adjustment dates back 
many years, and the infrared sensor is a relatively new device...

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
