I've got a print scan of one of my 8x10 Maco IR negs (done in pyro, of course) at the following....

and a larger one at

It really saves my highlights from bullet-proofing. 

I almost hate to say it, but I like the Maco results better than the HIE. They both have their place but too much I see IR used as the reason to take the image, not as a tool to enhance a great shot. (MO & YMMV).

I use an 89b on the above exposed at 2ASA (2 secs at f/32, no reciprocity correction). Developed in 2+4+100 Pyro, 11 min, 70F, Jobo processor.

And you always have a place to crash in Utah, just let me know.
