The problem you're having Dave is that the Hoya R71 isn't an exact equal to the Wratten #87 filter. It allows enough Red through to over power the Red channel which will cause less crisp images. David J Brooks wrote: Thats a great shot Ralf. I used to use my istD and the Hoya R72 filter. I so

http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/18201202 The Wratten #87 is an extremely strong IR filter, totally opaque to the human eye. It is way beyond the sensitization of the usual near-infrared films (Konica IR795, Ilford SFX200). Apparently, the DS' IR sensitivity extends to much longer wavelen
