The Wood-effect starts at 695nm, so it is less a matter of capturing 
light at 800nm that wasn't there in the first place, but a matter of 
blocking unwanted visible. And visible ends at 780nm, while you are not 
able to look through a #87 at daylight intensities.
With HIE & #87C at 12 ASA, I don't see much difference in 2 ASA for
Konica & #87. That's lousy two-and-a-half extra stops....go one or
two steps up, #87B or #87A, and you might be slower off than with
Konica. 

With this line of reasoning, one couldn't even call Ilford or Agfa
extended-red films.

This is art guys, not sports photography! 
A tripod, not a monopod!....:-))
