Re: [Leica] Best Infrared filter for Noctilux??

["George Kenney" <georgekenney@earthlink.net>]

Rich,

I was thinking Kodak or Konica. I've read on the web that Konica is 
more suitable for loading in subdued light, tho I'll bet that that can be 
done with Kodak, too. FWIW I've been using a fair quantity of Tech-
Pan, loading in subdued light, and only recently learned it's 
supposed to be loaded in total darkness. Don't think it's made much 
difference in the negatives, tho maybe it has and I just don't know 
any better. Some time back (six months or so?) I tried a roll of Ilford 
for fun, but didn't think it was quite dramatic enough; possibly since 
it's not true IR.

Cheers,

G.
