Hi,

This the answer I got from B+H for roll HIE and infrared filters:

a) 35mm x 150ft Kodak High Speed Infrared b&w film (cat. no.160 4149) =
139.50
b) 35mm x 100ft Kodak Vericolor 160 ASA (color negative) = 41.95
c) 35mm x 100ft Kodak Tmax 100 ASA . = 21.95.

infrared filter of B+W for 55mm and 77 mm
55mm 092 or 093 = 49.95
77mm 092 or 093 = 105.95     

The price seems reasonably weel if you consider the troubles of getting
the film. I understand the idea og handling the big roll consisting of
thirty 36 exp. casettes. This would last more than two maybe three
years. I still use film from a roll which does not have a label or
anykind of writing on the film and metal bulk case which is more than 8
years old. A friend has brought it over from USA. I have some level of
fog. I do not think that it is HIE since it is seems to be slower, I
should bear in mind the age of film which  it had lived with me only. If
you order HIE it is around $8 as 36 exp. I think I will take the risk of
handling problems and order it.

Regards,

ibrahim
