I agree - I have a #87 through which only the filament of
a light bulb can be seen. I ran a roll of HIE through my
Canonet QL17 GIII once w/ it and it was way cool.
Between the two other films, forget the Ilford "extended red"
and go w/ the Konica 750 - it is a little slower than HIE, but
much finer grained. The #25 red is a good filter to maximize
its limited IR sensitivty - opaque filters beat it down to
very slow asa ratings.
