Back when everybody shot film, photo labs would often receive a roll of 36-exposure film from customers for processing and when the prints rolled off their FujiFilm Frontier it would contain photographs made during Christmas, Easter and Vacation—all on the same roll. It happened so often that it eventually got a name: CEV Syndrome.  Whether you shoot film or digital, don’t let that happen to you.

I love to hear from our readers and sometimes the questions they ask might be similar to ones you might have. Like this e-mail that I received about infrared photography. And while this reader’s question was about IR conversions for his Olympus DSLR, my answer should apply to any DSLR owner who wants to convert their camera to infrared capture.

When shooting with film, there were several ways that you could capture images. You could shoot color negative or slide film or you could use black and white film that would let you create an entirely different version of that same photograph.
