There is a interesting artical on one of the Ziff davis site I will include the link. It is informative as it gets into the makeup of film and all that stuff

I'm a purest when it comes to photography. I've used really good quality digital cameras, but i find with them you have to spend a lot of time in photoshop to get the colours right, etc. Also, I only use black and white 35mm film on a regular camera. Pretty much the only thing i found the digital of use for (for me that is) wwas shooting my portfolio of art and shyte, where I am willing to take the 45 minutes per picture to make things look JUUUUUSSST right, and then print it out at 300dpi on Epson Photo Quality Glossy paper. As for any other photography, the darkroom is my best friend. ry

one cool thing about digital, is that it has an extended red lightwave sensitivity. So if you shoot digital black and white, it can have SIMILAR results to infrared film. Although this probably depends on the digital camera used.

nplus--there are a number of people using an IR filter and getting wonderful results. Try www.dpreview.com and maybe the 'samples and galleries' forum and search. One of the guys I was corresponding with earlier about alternative 'fine art' papers for our Epsons does infrared--but I don't have his URL. Slynky, I sort of disagree with you about color. That's 'what I do'--colorist, so to speak. My Canon generally gets it right on--has some problems with red--you sometimes need to do some exposure compensation, but I generally don't have to tweak colors if I want just realistic--I spend time playing in graphics apps for other effects or 'dramatic' effects most of the time unless I just want to alter exposure, things like that. The new generation of Canons, Nikons, et.al. are really quite wonderful with color.
