Since I have yet to shoot my Konica film, I was wondering if some of you
with experience with both Kodak and Konica would explain some differences
between them. From what I gather thus far, Konica has less grain and more
contrast.  It appears that the IR effect is not as extreme as with Kodak
either. In other words.....why choose one over the other?

One other thing.  If I were to shoot some of the Konica without the red
filter, would I treat it as any other B&W film? For instance, would I use
various filters....like you do with regular B&W film?

And, I don't think we should talk about doughnuts.....unless I can have
one! :-)
