Holly,

Think we have discussed this previously.

The Wratten 89B (R72) filter is probably the best filter to use with Konica
750 film.

Have another look at the examples on the CoCam web site in the Gallery
section for Konica with an R72 filter.  There is no haze.

There is also recently updated information on the use of filters with films
in the IRFAQ on the same site.




All the best,
