SFX 200 is an extended red film (not infrared).  However, with a red
filter, you will get some "infrared-like effects", i.e. lightened foliage,
dark skies, etc.

It doesn't fit a nitche for me, so I can't help with processing.  However,
I'm sure that other folks around here can give you some starting times.
