I finally got some results using Rolei IR. Metered the image at ISO 6, used RM72 filter.
(http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=38487)

Now to look at the images:
I observe that foliage in full sun appears as expected: white, glowing appearance.
However, in shadow, foliage appears as if it were shot with a regular film, no glow
not white.

Any one observe this behaviour, that only direct sunlight on foliage gives the glowing
effect. Is this an expected result?

Direct sun will have a ton more IR, and so this sounds normal.

I've shot miles of IR film. I second the above comment. It looks like a fine image.

Well here's one of the results of Rollei IR in Diafine, printed on Ilford MGIV Glossy 11x14.
This is a digital image (not scan) of the mounted print.
