Yes, you do need a filter and and some infrared aware film but no special chemicals as far as I know... I use good old D76. Lately I've been using my Pentax ISDS, the older model with a 6 mp sensor, as it has a very week IR filter so it can take fairly nice infrared photos depending on the filter. I use a 720nm when there is something white in the viewfinder. A 720 is so dark that it it very difficult to see through it so, I use the white object, (many times a steeple) so that I can position it for what I think will get me a good composition. Sometimes I use a 680 nm but that doesn't produce much whiteness in foliage, the IR range being about 700 to 1000 nanometers. With a TLR and film I use the taking lens for the filter so that I don't shoot "blind". Thanks for looking, Lad! Jim On 8/12/16 5:31 PM, Ted Grant wrote: > Hi Jim, > "It maybe hot temps there?"
