The only place to buy Kodak IR film in 120 rolls is through list member
Rolland Elliot who makes it up from cut down bulk rolls.  There is an
article in the Infrared FAQ together with Rollands contact details, address
and pricing (URL in sig. file).

There is also a section in the Infrared FAQ on dimpled film pressure plates
and various solutions.  The easiest solution is to use the backing paper
from 120 roll film, black side towards the lens, wrapped around the
pressure plate and taped in position.


All the best,
