Hi Keith,
their current IR film will certainly stay on the market for a while. It is a very flexible film with excellent results if you use it as a normal film at 200-400 ASA, as a reversal film or as an infrared film.
At the beginning of this year Maco said that they intend to introduce an IR film with extended red sensivity to 850-900 nm. Perhaps we will see this film next year. After Kodaks decision there will be a bit more space for such a film on the market.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Efke make a IR film similar to HIE, the 'aura-effect' inclusive. At least they could make such a film with their technology. The question is, is the 'niche in the niche market' IR great enough for so many films.
We will see,
best regards,
Jana
