Shot one test roll (though often stuff on my test rolls is better than my normal rolls) with the Kodak Infrared film. I picked it up at Adorama, and also picked up a changing bag. I stopped under some scaffolding and loaded the M3 in the changing bag. That is one thin film. (No anti-halation backing). Anyway - put the 2-stop red filter on the 35mm and shot around Union Square Park. Then some shots on the subway just for the hell of it. Outdoors, I just shot around f8 or f11 and zone focused so I don't think the infrared difference in focus will matter. Inside the subway - that's another story since I was shooting wide open.
I don't think there is anything that amazing on the roll, so I'm going to just do it Ilfotec like I normally do Tri-x. I picked up some D-76 in case this roll is completely out of the ballpark.

The strip is drying. Not bad. The only thing I can see for sure so far is that there is not much infrared light in the subway, i.e. those those shots are about 50 stops underexposed :)

When I was outdoors in the sun I basically treated it as 400 (- 2 stops for the red filter) so call it 100 ASA.
In the subway, I just did the same thing using my handheld meter for readings. Based on this roll I'd guess that I'd rate this at 50 in the subway, and then subtract two stops. Gadzooks. Not too useful for handheld stuff.
