Just watch out that you get the true Cokin-P size, 83x83mm, and not 
the commonly sold 85x85mm. The binding is not only irritating, but also 
stresses the plastic springs in the filterholder (the ones clamping on 
the sides, not the ones that clamp perpendicular)....if you put a 
correct size filter in the same slot afterwards, you risk that it 
falls through....8-))
The IR filters I offer are all 83x83mm.

Btw, I still don't know what material the #89 Ilford filter is made 
from....;-((
