<p>Hi. We made five visits to Egypt between 2002 and 2006. We visited many cities and sites on the Nile between Alexandria in the North to Aswan in the South. The only problem we encountered was the tripod ticket, this is an extra payment made when visiting sites of historical interest and you want to use a tripod. The ticket itself is not a problem, it only costs a few E£'s, Its the criminal vultures, mostly police men, who arrive after you have bought the ticket to tell you of various other taxes you have to pay, in cash directly to them. They are a nuisance and sometimes quite threatening. I don't know how things are now but if you can manage without a tripod it could save you a lot of problems. On the subject of giving pens to children, please do not think you are in any way helping with illiteracy in the country. After you hand over the pens they are instantly traded for sweets at shops that sell postcards, and, you have guessed it, pens to tourists who forgot to bring a pen. Enjoy your trip. Phil</p>

Hi I have shot off four rolls of SFX 200 incorporating a cokin 007 filter, equivalent to a Hoya 72A or a Wratten

89B. I have been delighted with the results. I take each exposure three times =, +2 and -2. The difference

between SFX200 and Kodak Infrared or Efka IR820 I would say are minimal.<div></div>
