To add perforations?
Get that Na...I mean German precision.

HIE was special in its speed and range.
But it was also rather grainy.
Woods effect and Rayleigh scattering starts and ends right around 720nm so it’s no coincidence that many films aims to just cover that by a bit.
Having either the speed or the deeper spectrum would definitely be welcome.
Konica’s truncated spectrum would make IR far more accessible to people not willing to take the plunge to for a real IR filter.
Beach sand is smooth in 4x5.4x5 HIE was pretty smooth. I've got one or two examples in the gallery.
Posted for fun.
I would be happy with any IR film that made it out to 820.
Saves time on hitting the 'like' button 10000 times!+10,000
I'd like an ISO1000 film, please. Surely there has to be some incredible work on high-speed emulsions that got shelved when it was clear that Digital was taking over the consumer and amateur market? Something that perhaps shifted towards higher saturation?
Colour?

Interesting, Konica is basically an orthochromatic-IR film. I used to shoot HIE with a 25A.
Oh yes, absolutely. ISO1000 colour film. Negative would be fine, Reversal would be incredible.
I recall that Ektapress line included one that was about 1000,in colour. Only shot a few rolls, as it was sold in 50 roll Propacks, and only one store downtown broke them up and sold them by the roll.
Colour IR IMO is a gimmick. It never has anything to do with real colour, and is always going to look like images from Mars.
.
Yet it was sold to the consumer. And colour IR is quite popular still.IR film was not intended for artistic Photography, but for taking aerial Photos.
the "False colour" of colour IR film was carefully designed to pick out foliage, from Camouflage. and Healthy trees for stressed trees. their are many other applications, some of which we are not going to find out unless we have a "Need to Know" as the tech guys say, Not a bug but a feature.

I’m not trying to shame it out of existence. I just think it has a strong taste of gimmick after a few tries.
B&W IR not at all.
Colour IR shouldn’t be something we pine for to come back.
It’s impractical and not something that is broadly applicable.
IR films and color IR films were developed pun intended for reconnaissance, others liked it for its rendering.
