Can you really use an 87 filter with Konica 750?

[PeteScherm@xxxxxxx]

As much as I dearly love Clive for his courageous gamble in allowing me some 
probably-undeserved space on his IR FAQ webpages........I disagree with him, 
and others, about the use of Konica IR and an 87 filter.  I think that where 
we differ, mostly, is regarding film speed.  I don't consider an ASA rating 
of one or below a particular problem.  The things I photograph - except for 
occasional pesky fast-moving clouds - can wait as long as I can.  I fondly 
remember shooting a number of rolls of Kodachrome 10, donated and long 
expired, at ASA 2, with my hand-held Exakta, which I processed as B&W film.  
I can't remember the details, but it was in the 50's, they came out fine, and 
thank goodness for the Aruba bright sun and a reasonably fast Zeiss Biotar 
lens.

I shot a few rolls of Konica in Ireland, in September.  If it hadn't been SO 
rainy, would have shot many more.  I was very pleased with the results.  For 
me, the difference between between the 87 and an R-72 (89B, I believe) which 
I have also used, is very noticeable.  I would like some halation, 
though.......hence all of my fiddlin' around with the 70mm HSIR.

If anyone would like to try out the 120 Konica 750, I may be able to give 
some advice.  Let me know.
