Hi Nathan,

Thanks for looking. I have shot IR with both 35mm film and digital  
with the M8 and various Nikon digital bodies. I never tried medium  
format IR. I find the M8, in particular, can give very good IR photos  
close to film. Where I find film to be better is in the apparent  
depth of the photo. What I don't like about film is the very large  
grain  structure. Maybe I should try a roll in my Rollei.  But boy  
digital is so much less work.

Cheers,
Len
