Before you write off HIE why not try it with a real IR filter? You'll get far more IR derived contrast in the negs. Using an 87C (093) the cut-off is 1000nm so it will preclude virtually all of the visible spectrum (under bright lights you can only see the deepest red through it). Of course you'll have to pre- focus or scale focus when using an SLR.
