E55 IR filter

Is anyone using this filter?  It caught my eye on the bay.  

That's an ultraviolet and infrared stop filter.  It's designed to only pass visible wavelengths in the 400 to 700 nm waveband and is often used with the M8 to prevent frequencies in the near infrared band (700 - 1000 nm) from turning black textiles magenta.  

It's no use for taking infrared pictures like the others in this thread.

Pete.

I picked up two rolls of Rollei IR400, which I've shot before in medium format many years ago, wanting to see how well the M6TTL meter reads through a Hoya R72 filter. I set the ISO dial to 250, and, based on the negatives, I could probably use 400, as the R72 shots are a bit more dense than the unfiltered or Red #25 filter. With a tripod, I shot some as no filter, Red 25, Hoya R72, and trusted the light meter to get it right. All shot with my c. 1960's 90 Summicron "no serial number" at f/11 and 1/250 (no filter -14 in the sequence), 1/60 (red #25, -15) and 1/15 (R72, -16 in the file names). At least the Leica M6 meter reads the R72 as 4 stops, but, like I said, the R72 negatives are a touch more dense, so for my 2nd roll (and I'll buy more), I may shoot all with the IR filter and set the dial to 400. I'm also impressed by the grain of this film, for a nominally 400 speed film, it's not quite a T-grain 100 speed film, but it's not too far off.

After experimenting with 3 shots (no filter, red, IR) on 6 subjects, I just shot a bunch with the R72 filter. Again, they're a tad dense, and, since I scan, I'll go to ISO 400 for the next roll. If I were still optically printing, the density of the negatives set to ISO 250 would be perfect, but scanners aren't as happy with dense negatives as enlargers are. I put some up on Instagram, two batches of 3, one all verticals, one all horizontals. For some strange reason, these two batches of 3 images are getting a lot of views, 250 or so (where I normally get 2-3 views from non-followers). I'm glad my income and personal happiness are completely divorced from Instagram views. 
These 3 are 35 Summicron ASPH (I guess I have to call my 20+ year old lens "version I" now) at f3.5 at 1/60th; 50/1.5 Nokton at f/11 at 1/5; and finally the Nokton again at f/16 at 1/8. The "glowing cactus" shot is weird, but interesting, and it seems the Leica lens doesn't have much IR focus shift.

And here are the 3 horizontal shots I put up on IG, also getting a crazy number of views. All on a tripod and all with the R72 filter.

35/2 ASPH at f/4 and 1/60; Nokton at f/8 and 1/8; and the Nokton again at f/11 and 1/8.

All of these on the Stanford University campus. Many at the Arizona Cactus Garden, some just wandering around the main quad, getting weird looks from tourists with my tiny M6 camera on the big tripod that I usually use for large format work.

I'm looking into the Kolari 39mm 720nm filter, as Hoya doesn't make a 39mm filter, and the 39-52 step up ring is a bit clunky. I'm fine with using step up rings for the 90/2 (48-52) or Nokton (49-52), plus I have another CV lens, the 75/1.8 that's natively 52mm, but my CV 21/4, Leica 35/2, 50/2.8 and 90/2.8 "Fat" all take 39mm. Has anyone used the Kolari 720nm filter? Is it functionally identical to the Hoya R72?
