RE: Tech Pan to be discontinued (was Re: cold temperature reciprocity)

have you tried the Elke IR sheet film yet? It seems to have the same curves
(approx) as Kodak..

I have a lifetime supply of 35mm but not sheet film. TMX can be called a
replacement, but the tonality in the red area is rather different. This is
not as much a blow to me as Kodak discontinuing Infrared sheet film, but we
can get used to these films going away. All the more reason to get moving
more seriously with digital negatives.

Cheers -

george
