No,not really a pain in the butt.I load at night in my bathroom with windows blacked
out(its my darkroom
too.lol I use a lab,or Aaron,both know what to do with IR film and will not open it in
the
store to put it in
a bag.Still i tape the tube shut and write on the out side.
Film is dear,but with the advice of Bill,Aaron Reynolds and Sid,i shot a roll with
recommended settings
then a bracket shot.They were correct.<vbg>

Thanks.Yes i think IR is pretty white.I found at f11 i get nice whites,at f 8 they are
blown out and at f
16 starting to go grey.I try now to frame a building with leaves or find a barn or
house
with a tree(s)
and that gives good contrast.
