Naturally, I meant "former."
Also, revisiting Willem-Jan's Web page on the subject, it appears
that someone has tried HIE film in the Rebel II with no ill effects.
There also seem to be varying reports regarding whether or not the
fogging enters the image area, so it appears the theory that there's
a great deal of variation in IR fogging from camera to camera within
the same model type holds water. My Elan, for example, fogged up
quite a bit of the visible image area.
Man. Aren't there IR diodes with a shorter wavelength of light? I
appreciate the utility of IR sprocket sensing, but there are enough
of us out there who like to use HIE from time to time.
