I had to special order it from Robert White in the UK, nobody seems to stock this one. It is less opaque than the 87C filter but stronger than the 89B. I have also shot some Kodak HIE, but I prefer Maco due to the subtle look you mention. Maco seems to lie somewhere in between the weak IR films like Ilford SFX or Konica IR and the HIE. It is slower than the HIE, by 1 stop in my use. Nathan Mike Durling wrote: > Nathan, > > Nice bunch of photos. I like the beach scenes a lot, especially the main > week 34 picture.

That may be the difference between the Maco and the Kodak HIE. > > Mike D - -- Nathan Wajsman Herrliberg (ZH), Switzerland e-mail: wajsman@webshuttle.ch Photo-A-Week: http://www.wajsman.com/ General photo site: http://belgiangator.tripod.com/ Belgium photo site: http://members.xoom.com/wajsman/
