Infrared film with Nikon F65? Hi.. I've been reading a lot of interesting stuff here about infrared film, and I have decided to give it a try. The problem is I own a Nikon F65, and, as you may know, this camera doesn't have any way of setting an ISO value manually. Besides, IR film isn't DX rated, so I don't know what ISO the camera is assuming... Has any F65 owner managed to solve this problem? Hope any of you have a clue about this issue, because I don't have any! :)

One suggestion before you pursue using infrared film: Check out bythom.com. Thom Hogan has reviews on many different Nikon cameras. From what I've learned from his site is that not all Nikon cameras are capable of using infrared film due to the use of infrared film sensors within the camera body - like the Nikon N80. You can't see it, but the infrared film will. It'll ruin your film before you even had a chance to get it developed. Just something to check out to avoid potential headaches.

Thanks, I'll check the site... As to the capabilities of the F65 to use infrared films, I have read quite a lot of testimonies that say it can handle it, so I think I'm safe there :)

I don't know for sure, but I'd guess the N65 defaults to ISO 100 if there is no DX code on the can. If you wish to expose the film at another ISO, then simply dial +/- exposure compensation, or set exposure manually. For example, if you want to rate the film at ISO 25, that is the same as +2 exposure compensation when the meter is set for ISO 100.

Thanks! I'll assume 100 ISO then and experiment around that value. Very grateful for your tip, man, this issue was giving me a real headache :)
