I want to put a small piece of IR gel in the film gate of one of my SLR cameras. But I'm having a hard time finding optical quality IR gel, that is not old Wratten 89B filters sold at insultingly high prices ($150 plus exorbitant shipping, seems to be the starting point).
Is there really not anyone producing such a product anymore? Seems very strange.
I'm thinking that maybe I could combine an R29 filter gel in the gate with a blue glass filter on the lens, and thereby achieve the combined effect to a R72, while being able to look through the lens. With the option of taken the blue off, gaining a few stops.
But even a good 29 gel filter is hard to find.
Adox offering might be big enough? Or is that only a 25?
