Holly,

The 87 filter has a cut off point that is too high into the infra red
spectrum for use with Konica film - unless you extend exposures to the max.
in which case you will probably get some sort of image.

The best filter to use with Konica 750 film is IMHO the R72 (Wratten 89B) -
there is more information about these filters on my web site and example
photos in the Gallery - commercial plug warning - and I sell them :-)


All the best,

              Clive   http://www.cocam.co.uk
