using Kodak Infrared B/W film?

Hello,

this is my first message to this list, so pls forgive if I dont get the 
gist on how to post yet.

I have recently achieved to get a roll of Kodak Inrared B/W film, and 
have read through the available resources, like the FAQ.

Still there are questions that remain:

	1) I plan to use mostly shots during daylight, with a wratten 25 
(Std. Red) filter. Someone told me to rate the film at ISO 800, the FAQ I 
think talks about ISO 50. I am confused.

	2) Given that the IR mark on lenses is a bit off, I cannot 
expect AF to work for me. So I'll use MF. What about the bulit in meter 
of the camera? - can it be trusted, does it need correction, or is it all 
guesswork?

	3) I use a Std. Red Filter. How much would a deep red (29) or IR 
(87?) Filter accentuate the effect? - What about the use of normal 
filters, like polarisers?

Thanks for your patience

Robert
