Hello All,

Just about back in the driving seat after a long bout of 'flu.  Yes 
Dan you're entirely correct about the regular Feb. production run of 
Konica IR 750. If anyone is interested have a quick search of the 
list archives on Marco's excellent web site:
http://www.pauck.de/archive/mailinglist/infrared/infrared.html

You will find a whole load of fairly recent postings about Konica's film runs.

As Christina says, as long as we keep buying and using the film the 
right signals go through to Konica :-)
