Re: Experiences with the daylight safe HIE

["Rolland Elliott" <rolland_elliott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's really nothing unusual to report on this bulk loaded film. Except 
for the fact that you can load it in daylight,and it's cheaper than buying 
it through the store, it is no different than the regular Kodak 35mm B&W IR 
emulsion. The important thing is that I use a canister with IR opque felts 
in combination with a film leader. Using just a film leader won't do the 
job. My bulk loaded EIR seems to be selling quite well, but HIE sales are 
slow. Probably has to do with the incredible savings by buing bulk loaded 
EIR and the fact that people tend to stock pile HIE in the freezer like it 
was a wartime necessity.

Peace,

I was referring to the HIE offered on the list a few weeks ago. The
vendor buys HIE in bulk and splices exposed film on the ends to help
achieve a light tight seal on the cannister.
