BTW - the reason I get so excited about 820 is that it has an anti-halation layer on it, unlike Kodak's film. This keeps the light from bouncing off of the film pressure plate and flaring the film, which is where a lot of the IR glow comes from. You get the strange "coloration" of seeing in IR light, but you still get sharp easily scanned or printed images! I have a box of 4x5 out in the garage freezer, time to get more, in 35 and 4x5, and maybe even shoot more!

BTW great image.
