Response to Kodak HIE problems

It depends on the camera back for 35mm. I have a Rebel G and the back also goes on another style of camera that has some sort of data display. I had to cover this space up with gaffers tape. I also have IR LED frame counter. But this only fogs the bottom 10% of the film which means that very little of the image area gets any fogging at all. Here again, light piping plays somewhat of a roll in this fogging. I over compose and crop in the printing. Certain bellows leak IR but I'm not sure which ones. Easy to find out. Just place a sheet of IR in holder and place into camera, pull slide, wait 1 minute, replace slide, develope film. You'll know if your bellows is IR safe. Erin, did any of your images come out? We're waitng breathlessly. James
