Hi Julian, To avoid the 'dark mark' on HIE you can cover the pressure plate with a piece of fully exposed and developed piece of B&W film (like the fogged leader of each film loaded/unloaded in daylight) . As you suspect, this reduces drastically the "wood effect" of HIE. There's no more reflection coming back from the pressure plate to create the well-known highlight halo of HIE. There has been reports on the IR list (Daniel, excuse me for revealing your secrets ;-) :-) that the material used for those disposable shades to see a solar eclipse will solve the QD-plate problem while increasing the wood effect. (The I*can't*recall*the*name material is "mylar", I think., my head is stuck on 'kevlar', but I guess we're not trying to make a bullet proof solution ;-) ;-) ) BTW, Daniel, congratulations for your POW!! I was even in the chat if you can recall... I didn't know you're on the list as well. I just notice in the recent threads. Your IR picture of the church is wondeful!
