Re: Can you really use an 87 filter with Konica 750?

[Joshua_Putnam <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use Konica 750 with an 87 quite a bit.  I use an 87 polyester
gel inside my OM-1 for general infrared work -- it's a good
filter for both HIE and Konica.  For some very wide angle shots
I'll even hand-hold Konica with the 87.  A 1/15 second exposure
is reasonable to hand-hold with a 17mm lens, and the depth of
field is huge so you don't need to stop down as much as you would
with more ordinary lengths.

I also use a Tiffen 87 on my Mamiya Press, for both Konica 750 in
120 and 70mm Kodak IR.  It's a ridiculously expensive filter new,
$92.50 at B&H for a 52mm filter, but I got mine used in an $80
box of several dozen 52mm filters, got rid of the extras on ebay,
and figure the previous owner essentially paid me $50 to take his
Tiffen 87.  (If you want to buy one new, they're on the B&H web
page with pricing.)
