Filters for EIR

[Joe Berenbaum <joe-b@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have only just finished up the old infrared Ektachrome and am about to
start using the new version. Yes I know, its been out for ages....

What I would like to know is which filters work best. With the old type I
got my best results with dark yellow (#12) or normal yellow. The latter
allowed quite a lot of blue in the image and I rather liked that. I tried
many other colours and got a few interesting effects but they restricted
the range of colours in the image and I didn't feel that any of the other
options gave as satisfying a result as the two yellows, with the possible
exception of orange, which also gave some interesting results but still not
as interesting or colourful as the yellows. 

Is the new infrared Ektachrome similar in this respect? I would probably
start off just using the same filters (yellow and dark yellow) as I liked
before, unless anyone wants to tell me to do something different.
