Sunny days are back, and even my APX400 pulled down to 100 isos are not enough to use the f/2-f/1.2 range I have with my bodies thatt can only reach 1/1000s (f/1.5 is already too fast with my K100D which doesn't not go under 200 isos and reach 1/4000s). I saw taht Efke KB 25 is quite low priced, it would allow me to use my fast lenses a their full aperture even in hard light, does someone tested such combinaisons ? I mainly use Rodinal at 1+100, any advice on the dev ?

Other field, I saw I can buy some Efke IR 820, said to be at ISO 100, I read that with IR filter they are rather at something like 1,5 iso, I use the Hoya R72 filter, any experience with it ?

I've been rating the 4x5 IR820 at ISO1 with an R72 filter:
