Re: Colour Infrared

I really appreciate the quick response to my question!  I'm still a bit
confused.  Joe, you state an EI of 200, but then qualified it by saying that
it is because you also use a polarizer  (boy, I can just imagine the new
thread that THIS is going to start!  <grin>).  If I simply meter TTL with an
orange filter on the lens (see next point) and no polarizer, should I still
set the camera meter to 200?

Also,  I checked to see the filter that I'm going to use.  Turns out that it
is labelled "O2" and looks orangy (it is a "no-name").  Does someone know
the Wratten designation for this filter?

Finally, I HAVE used colour IE years ago (>20) but don't remember the
details, except somewhere I have a neat self-portrait.  I do recall that I
used it on the sunniest day possible, as this is how I did my B/W IR work
back then.  In recent years I have learned to appreciate the look of B/W IR
on cloudy, dark days.  How does colour infrared handle cloudy skies?
