Try Calumet for Maco IR film in 120. It is quite different than Kodak, I rate it at 1/2 asa (or rather expose it at 2 seconds at f/16) for shadow detail, others rate it a little higher.

Maco has a newer version, probably the one you will order from Calumet, that has a higher speed.

I've not used that to know what the speed would be.

I also use a 720nm cutoff filter, very dark red, b+w 092 I think, Hoya 72, etc. It is a panchromatic film and needs the dark filter in order to get the "wood effect" or ir effect you are looking for.

I believe I mention it on my web site, http://www.RobertHall.com

Feel free to email me with any questions.

HIE has a substantial UV sensitivity. One needs only a filter and a lens that will not block the UV. As I recall, normal glass doesn't block UV but the crystal lenses do.

Have her take a look at my site under the "how to" section.

Good luck!
