You need a Kodak Wratten medium-yellow #12 (or equivalent) for 
optimum effects.
I shot a few rolls in my 202 with very interesting results (both 
winter(alps/skiing) and summer, the first was more pleasing to the 
eye, less red dominance)....I made a 'temporarily' filter by using 
thin polyester, and was hoping enough other 202/IR users would be 
interested to have a batch of custom-color thin resin filters 
made....alas, I am still using my prototype....8-))

PS: IR-filters for Kodak HIE black&white exist in a nice sturdy 
quality #87C, for Ilford SFX200 and Konica 750IR I could fabricate a 
similar (more fragile) construction in #89B as with the above #12.

PPS, for when your loan-period is over: I can sell you a brand new 202 
for US$375....;-))

PPPS: tons of info about infrared can be found on my homepage:
