Canon EOS 500 and Ektachrome Infrared EIR

Just in case anybody is interested...

I ran a two rolls of Kodak's Ektachrome Infrared EIR (one in E-6 @

ISO 200 with Y2 filter and one cross-processed in C-41 @ ISO 100 with

various filters) through my Canon EOS 500 yesterday and the dreaded

in-body infrared sensor didn't fog the 'image' part of the film. The

fogged cyan coloured line was a good 2mm below the picture!

...HOWEVER...

Mid roll on both films I tested the theory that when the camera is

left on the IR film counter sensor is also on. For a period of five

minutes or more, the fogging starts to get bigger and spread outwards

and towards the 'image' part of the film.

If you want to see some of the pretty pictures, ask me and I'll scan

some at university and post them up.

Hope this helps.

PS. 80B Filter on cross-processed EIR is just wrong... believe me

it�s plainly wrong, ok!?
