Very large Format HIE Camera for dirt Cheap.

["Rolland Elliott" <rolland_elliott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well everyone knows Kodak has discontinued 4x5 sheet film because of such 
low demand. (They still have over 100 boxes of the stuff in storage 
according to their order department as of a few weeks ago, so they were 
probably justified in discountinuing it)  If you still want to shoot large 
format IR film I'd suggest buying the camera listed below. It's really 
really cheap. The problem comes when you go to buy the film for it. Kodak 
sells both Color and Infrared film in 9.5" spools, but I think the smallest 
roll costs over $1000 US dollars. Kind of Ironic that the film would cost 4x 
the cost of the camera!

OK, I doubt anyone will actually buy this 67 pound camera (wonder how much 
it weighs with the carrying case?), but it is deffinetely interesting!

Peace, Rolland
