Hi there,
Cutting down 8x10" infrared film, to whole plate format (6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch), I'm left with strips of approximately 1 1/2 inches.
I wonder if other users have found any creative or useful purpose for these remainders?

possibly to be used as test strips for creative exposure?
Hi Ash,
Thanks for the thoughts - I've nailed the exposure for the film ... it's only taken 6 years!
I was wondering if any one has any experience of using IR film like this for internegative contacts which could then be enlarged as 5" x 1 1/2 " panorama formats.
Kind regards,
RJ
Make a box with pinholes on 4 sides.
Make a 360 degree picture with your leftovers.
see illustr.
Thank you Jim - that's very creative.
Do you have a working example?
Not yet. Looked like it might be kind of fun though. I've fallen behind on just about everything but ideas. jg
you can also use these scraps to test your fixer.
when you mix a batch of new fixer, see how long it takes to
clear the film ( exposed to room light ) note the time ..
use your fixer until it taxes 2 times the time to clear your film ...
Here's a question:
There is aerial survey film appearing on the auction site. Is it a real bitch to cut down film from a 5" wide roll into 4x5 sheets?
I don't have a darkroom to try it myself and the house freezer is chock full of food, so you couldn't get a roll of Panatomic X in there if you wanted to.
It was one of those films I only used once (in 1987). There wasn't anything bad about it, I was just spoilt for choice at the time and my preference was East German ORWO NP15.
If you want a slow film there's the EFKE. What does the Kodak do that is enough to make you go to such lengths of cutting down a massive roll?
google 'tortuga pinhole camera' to see working multi-pinhole panpramic camera.
forgive imbecile spelling
