Well, here in Germany, the first green leaves are about to appear... So
maybe in a couple of weeks I could tell you more... From what I've seen
during my first MACO test series in winter, I can say that you will
probably GET bright foliage, if you use a dark red filter (Wratten #89B
or the like). With a #89B, I got white grass and surprisingly light grey
conifers. You may want to have a look at the samples on my webpage (see
footer, the link is at the bottom of my initial page).

Definitely the first. Fine grain, rather high contrast, slow film
speed... Really konikaesque. 

BTW, has someone found out whether the rumours about the discontinuation
of Konica IR are tru? I asked Konica for a clarification, but didn't get
any answer so far...
