BTW, I found the B+W 106 worked pretty well along with a type 092 IR pass filter on my Sony F717 for IR photography. Brought the exposure down into a very usable range for sunlight. (The Sony's IR "NightShot" mode was crippled and only allowed fully open aperture and 1/16-1/50 second exposure times, I needed to use an IR pass in conjunction with another filter to get the EV down to a usable point for sunlight.)

The solution to all of this is good ND filters. I keep a B+W type 106 ND filter around for when I need to use a seriously low sensitivity (something like 6-8 stops, can't remember off hand) ... ISO 3 anyone? :-)
