Pedro,
I have all my IR film developed by a lab. They are quite good and the
resulta re more than acceptable. However make sure that before you give them
the film cannister you tape the lid shut! and write IR on it or whatever the
lab prefers. Developers will inadvertantly open your cannisters otherwise!
Some large developers don't reject IR outright but their machines are IR
compatible. It is owrth making sure that they know their machines are IR
compatible first. If they're not sure, go somewhere else!
