It also requires the focus to be shifted (unless you have a Hexar AF, which automatically adjusts the focus if you tell it which IR film you are using (it has settings for 750 and 850 - HIE). So why is HIE the "real thing?" Must be because it is a pain in the arse to load! Jim Brick wrote: > Ilford SFX is "not" a real infrared film. Just an extended range film.
