The Konica IR film is indeed made once per year, and is available in the
spring. There should be a new batch out soon, but if you want a good
bargain call Abbey Camera in the USA.
The web site is www.abbeycamera.com. I just bought some Konica IR 120 size
for $4.49 per roll. It is "short dated" for April 2000, but has been
refrigerated and should be good for at least 6 months past that date.
Normal price of fresh manufactured Konica IR 120 size is about $6.99 per
roll, so Abbey has a very good price until the old stock runs out.

Good hunting,
