 You forgot to tell us the story. What result did you get?

As far as I can see KR 12 (=Wratten 85B) is a fairly good choice. It is a bit
more orange than the yellow #12 and should render a (nice!) warmer color tone.
I think you will get darker (blue) skies too.
Personally I prefer the orange filtration.
In a posting 1 Mar 1998 Joe Paduano wrote:"I shoot all my color infrared with
a No.16 orange and a polarizer."

So, if it is good for him ...
