Boy, I reread this post, and it isn't very clear. What I meant when I
mentioned the Konika and Ilford "near" IR films is to say that they
don't have the problems of fogging that "true" IR films do, but they
also have less of the "IR" effect, partly because they don't extend very
far into the infrared band of light and also because they have the anti
halation backing that Kodak IR films lack, and which gives them the
"ghostly" look that most seek in IR images. And I must have set some
kind of record for quotation marks in a single post!
