Thought I'd use a couple sheets of my precious, 54 year old expired HIE. This film is still in terrific shape. Only about a third stop base fog, which can easily be printed through. However it has lost a lot of speed. Instead of EI 100 with the #25, it's now EI 12.

That is really good Andrew.
FWIW, I've mentioned your desire for HIE to my Kodak contacts.

@SchwinnParamount Yup. Forest fire smoke all the way from California last year. A few years ago, I bought two boxes of 4x5 HIE that had expired in 1967. I was four that year, and right into the Batman TV show... not infra-red film yet :laugh:

@MattKing Thanks, Matt. Wouldn't it be cool if Kodak made this stuff again... or even something similar??!! Wouldn't it be nice to have a REAL IR film again!

I was 7. I remember one evening in Boulder, CO, my dad walked into the kitchen as we kiddos were finishing our hot dogs and said "Hey kids, you wanna watch Batman on TV?" I thought, "some guy with a baseball bat?". We adjourned to the living room to watch the show on the Zenith black and white TV. And there he was! Bat Man played by Adam West. Fabulous.

p.s. "dude" hadn't been popularized in "Fast Times at Ridgemont Hi" yet.

1967 was the year that my Dad introduced me to the darkroom - and I got to tour the Centennial train. :smile:
