[MF3D.FORUM:368] Re: MF Ektachrome Infrared

Damn.  I made a dozen calls to Kodak, and they insisted this film was 
not available in any format than 35mm.

This looks interesting for sure.  If I did it, I might repackage it 
using 120 paper.  At $20 a roll, I'd hate to lose any of that 
emulsion to spacing problems.
