Just dig out a fee rolls of Kodak HIE infrared film 135-36. Will make some test shoot on it.
Lucky my filter R72 R90 still around.
 

wah!! valuable film.. bet you can sell them at $20/roll.. haha
 

Just process my HIE film, I cut the roll in half, only make 15 exposure.

From densitometer measure, Film base Dmin about 0.35, fog level slightly on high side, shadow area around .05 above fog level, few frame over expose and Dmax reach 2.30. Still within printable range, however highlight area may be flat. The others tone/gradation looks good, will try to make actual print from my very dusty Durst enlarger. Need a new bulb for my M700 now.
 

sounds exciting.. can't wait to see the result.. no need to pull our ur enlarger la.. just go next door.. there got so many enlarger:p

HARDCORE?? When you up to certain age, parts should be hard, become not very hard, those parts no need to be hard, become hard.:bsmilie::bsmilie:

btw 58ºF is 10º lower then std temp for finer grain.:)
