can your camera take color IR?  I took some in the early 1970's and I lost them. I bought two b/w IR film and just used one roll cost $18 each the color slide film will cost me $32. I did find some on the net for $22 but they wanted $8 shipping so what the diff? 

Oh is the filter 72 is it a red filter. I think I have it already for I put it on my film camera for the B/W shots. I am a color man I try the B/W but I alway wish for color. I would love to see what the bees sees on the flowers. Flowers have a IR to them and the bees sees this like a lighthouse. Saw that on one of those science channel.
I saw too this man in France was looking over the Roman battle where Cearer defected a army six times his side and the scincetist took IR photos of the area from a plane. It been around 2000 years that battle was and the land was farmed and all but the IR  light capture the outlines of where the Romans had they armys. The scincetis then got a better ideal of the battle.  I was happy to see what IR cameras can do 

Oh with the 72 filter you set the camera in B/W mode?

what you see is not what you know; it in your face
