	Buried in the Ilford data sheets on their web site is information about
filtration with this film.  Regular #25 red filter won't give you the
maximum  IR effect.  Ilford suggests a darker red, and even sells their
own red gel filter.  (Why isn't this info isn't in the box?) 
	I've gotten a nice "black sky" effect by stacking red and polarizing
filters. The Rollei red filter seems to do better than a #25, too. 1/125
@ 5.6 in sunlight.
