Okay, after dragging my feet all week (and being spurned by weather) I got out this morning to a little hillside cornfield I thought would be a good test subject. Exposed at Sunny-f/16, and rated at ASA 2. R-72 filter.

I'm pretty happy with that, especially as a first try. Having said that, the film is tissue paper thin, and due to a rail in this specific holder that needs to be pried back up a bit, the film was pretty heavily damged by fingerprints and thumb abrasions. Took a good bit of work to rescue. But for having sat around for 14 years, I think it turned out pretty neat.
Going to buy a box of legit, fresh IR film now. I shot a sheet of FP4+, side by side (with an orange filter) for comparison:
