Hi Kevin,
I tried when I got it some years ago, it does not work for IR.  I then 
used my PZ1-p and worked fine.

William,
I have used my PZ1-p without a problem, and it has a plastic window.  I 
never had a problem with it!

 It's inadvisable to use a camera with a DX window, since the foam gasket 
 can leak IR.
 I've heard but can't confirm that some plasic backed cameras are also IR 
 translucent.

I shot a number of HIE rolls with the PZ-1. I covered the DX window  
with a bit of aluminum foil, just a bit bigger than the window, then  
covered it with a piece of electric tape.
No leaks fogs etc.

I heard the K1000 pressure plate dimles can harm HIE film.

Not harm but since HIE has no anti-halation layer can end up being
part of the image due to reflection.

I shot HIE film in my Contax G2, which had both a DX window and an  
infrared sprocket hole counter. Never bothered my photography one whit.

I shot a roll of HIE with the *ist.  DX window AND IR sprocket
counter.  The edge of the film exposed to the IR counter came out of
the developer black.  Surprisingly, there was very little affect on
the frame itself.  I couldn't tell that the DX window had an adverse
affect at all.  Still, I don't think I would use that camera with that
film if I was being paid for the job.  Use the K1000.

Spotties work really well.

Don't forget to load and unload in the dark.

I've shot HIE in an Me-Super, LX, and Pz-1p with no problem. No special 
precautions on the Pz-1p WRT the window.

Your comment on the lack of an anti-halation layer in HEI is right on 
the mark. A lot of the attributes of this film - like handling it in 
total darkness - that are assumed to be the result of it's IR 
sensitivity are really the result of it having no anti-halation layer. 
It 'pipes light' and if you accidentally set your camera to bulb setting 
in the middle of a roll (I have), you can do just as much damage or more 
to the roll as you can do loading it in direct sunlight.

MZ-S and HSIE film

2006-11-23 Thread Kevin Waterson
Does anybody know If High Speed Infrared Emulsion film can be used
with the MZ-S?
Does the internal infrared mechanism affect it?
I have a wedding to shoot tomorrow and would like to pop off a few IR
of the bride and groom.
