I didn't catch the note about IR in specific, but for those wanting
a cross-reference list of IR filters for various manufacturers,
check my homepage:

I also recently added a Wratten #89B to the range of thin polyester 
(not gelatine!) colors, for those who want a simple cut & glue 
solution. 

Didn't look for Widelux on the PhotoKina....were they even there?
Don't think I have ever seen them there....and I have a pretty good 
eye for finding even the most obscure boots & products....:-))
