Is IR film safe to shoot in a pre-anny speed graphic? Efke has IR film is 5x7 and I thoguht I'd like to give it a try but at $80/box I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows if speeders "leak" IR  |

If it has original bellows, it probably isn't infrared safe. You could loosely wrap it in aluminum foil to make it safe. Film holders - be sure the dark slides have 5 bumps on the grip (type 5). The ones with 4, or no bumps aren't safe. The rest of it should be fine. |

Wow I never knew those bumps meant anything besides to tell you which way the darkslide was in the dark. I have quite a few with 5 bumps, I might have to consider the efke IR film too... |
