HI Mark;
	I do not know of any myself left for sale, as it seemed even places like
B&H would specail order it in.
	However, give a try of the new Maco 820 in 4x5.  Not bad.  It has an
anti-halation layer,  which is possibly the biggest difference form HSI, IMO>
	For example, (tounge in cheek mode = on) any person shot with HSI or HIE
looks like they have this weird "X-Files, just walked off the flying
saucer" glow about them.  Konica 750, you do not get that.
	Anyhow, i am liek you, depressed at the demise of HSI,b ut just starting
to try out the new Maco 820, and crosssing my fingers......
