Bravo, Svenedin. You had better luck than I - holding a filter over the Ikonta - and w/ IR to boot.
 
Cheers HiHo. Maybe just lucky with this one. IR is unpredictable. This Rollei film is very nice in IR or not.
 
You got a nice result with a difficult film. What surprises me is that you rated the film at ISO 25, most people including myself when using the R72 filter rate the film at ISO 6. I might be inclined to crop off some of the bottom of the photo as it does not add a lot to the impact of your print.
 
I just used the manufacturer's recommendation which is ISO 25. Having never used the film before I was not going to stray off piste regardless of what other people say. It worked but I was quite prepared for it not to work. I would say perhaps the meter is off in my very old Zeiss but I also used ISO 25 for the same film shot in my OM-4Ti and it was also fine, very good in fact. I walk the dog in that field so I like the expanse of grass in the print but that's a personal thing.
