This one half stop more exposure than where I expose HIE 35mm in bright
sun, between 10am and 4pm in the summer. I like 1/125 between 11 and 16.
It will not, however, work well for you in all situations--in backlighting,
overcast days, flat front lighting with lots of foliage in the
viewfinder....etc., etc, and a whole host of other situations.  You would
be better off exposing your film through the lens (and red#25 filter) and
setting the exposure index on your camera to ASA/ISO 640.  This effectively
rates the film at ASA/ISO 80 with a hand held meter.  Trust me, it works.
See my faq on infrared at my website.
