The trash bag idea is interesting. I wonder if the front filter from a TV remote control wouldn't work. The trick would be finding one of the correct shape and size. Glad I checked back.

Also Black Plastic trash bag material, black plastic electrical tape, will also work. Once decades ago I used some Kodak Wratten 87 gel over a flash and it still was not completely dark over the flash so I covered it with black plastic electrical tape. Be careful not to burn up your filter stack or flash unit because a lot of caloric (heat) is generated when you pop the flash under those filters. All that visible light has to go somewhere ! Too much power or too many pops will burn up the gel. Great to learn that Rollei is making an infrared sensitive film !

Praslowicz Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:31:50 +0000 http://www.kpraslowicz.com/?p=2367#comment-8576 There is the Tiffern 89B gel, but a 4x4" square costs about $130. Yikes! Before I found the stock of the Ilford Gels, I was ready to buy one of the cheapest Chinese made R72 glass filters on eBay and grind it down with the proper head for my Dremel tool.

I have an XA2 (and XA4) and an A16 flash, and I'm itching to try this out. One problem: That A filter is long sold out from Amazon, and I can't find it anywhere else. Do you know of an alternative?
