Paul Barden posted a nice result with Rollei infrared using a red (#25) filter some time ago. I had only been using the stronger i.r. filters so I thought to do a comparison.

Here's the result with a #25 red filter and ISO 40:

For comparison, here's my usual filter (Cokin P007, at ISO 6) result:

The red filter result is not so heavy with the infrared effect and has the advantage of higher effective ISO, 40 versus 6.

Sorry about the duplicate post. I've tried to delete it several times.

Way back when on 135 canister film I was shooting Kodak's HIE infrared with a red filter and could get glowing highlights and an IR look to some degree. When I got a medium format camera, I tried the same on Konica IR film thinking it would look similar but it didn't. The results were much like yours. I'd like to see Kodak's version make a come back.

The great thing about HIE film with the red filter was that it was still fast enough for hand-held shots. The Konika 750 was my film after HIE went away and I liked that a lot. When the Konika disappeared I moved to the Rollei, but only used it with the 89B Wratten filter or the Cokin P007. Sometimes the infrared effect is too extreme, so having the option of using the red #25 is great. I don't know why I didn't try it earlier. I think it was because the Cokin was working so well in the pine and cedar forests of the Pacific Northwest. Living now in a more deciduous tree environment i should reconsider my filters.
