Hey Magnum, nice to meet ya. I played with IR filters on my CP990, when I had it, but it had a hotmirror, which made things kinda tough--wicked long exposures, even in bright sun, you know? Did they take the hot mirror out for the 995? Now I have a different digital, and two IR filters, an 091 and an 093. The 093 is opaque whereas the 091 is very dark red. Not sure where the 88a fits in this scheme, but I could go look it up... May I ask how you manipulated the IR image in the computer, if at all? My new digicam does not have a B&W mode, so I shoot IR in color and then "fix it up" in my image editor... Cheers!
