I guess that's about what I pay, too. US$11 for the roll and US$16 for
develop and print.

The thing that kills me about HIE is that the price is the same where ever I
shop for it: CameraWorld (local), B&H, Adorama...

Hi,

30 euro is about US$28, but it's not quite this expensive: the film 
(Kodak HIE) is 14, and the processing another 12

Now I know it'll get exposed properly, I'll use the MZ-M and give it a 
go... ;-)

Thanks for the info,

Hi,

Like Timothy said, the ZX/MZ-M works fine with Kodak HIE... and I've
even been daring enough not to use the black tape for a couple of
rolls.  Worked fine for me.

Hi Kristian...

30 euro? Yikes. The ZX-M will work fine with Kodak HIE, which, from what I
understand, is the most picky when it comes to loading and light leak
problems. I haven't tried films from Konica or Agfa or Ilford.

I did take the extra step of putting a piece of black electrical tape over
the little window in the door of the ZX-M; I'm not sure if it was necessary
or not, but I was paranoid about it. Have fun!

MZ-S and IR film (was Re: ZX-50 and IR film.)

2002-06-04 Thread Kristian Walsh

To jump in here...

Has anyone definitively got IR film to work on an MZ-S without fogging?

How about an MZ-M/ZX-M?

I'd love to try some mono IR, but if the camera is just going to fog the 
roll on me, I might as well drink the thirty euro and look at my 
existing B&W prints instead ;-)
