Hi Steve,

I'd be interested in about 50 or 60 rolls of that, or whatever you 
can spare. I couldn't pick much up anymore when I heard about the 
discontinuance. I know, I know, I should have guessed it would go, 
but I procrastinated.

I've found it to be good for about 5 or so years in the freezer; it's 
susceptible to cosmic rays same as other high speed film is. After 
that the fog levels get too high.

HIE still has a lot different look than digital IR. My IR Canon Rebel 
is nice, and it's easy, and it delivers sharp pictures out to 900nm, 
but it's certainly not HIE. It's hard to get that glow that HIE gets 
from the lack of anti-halation backing.

Regards,

Henning
