[Leica] Anyone tried infrared photography on their digital cameras?

[abridge at mac.com (Adam Bridge)]

While strolling across the web I found a site that discussed how to shoot in IR
on digital cameras. It involves HEAVY filtration of the visible spectrum.
However the sensor in the camera is usual sensative in the near-IR spectrum and
so you can explore shooting IR without the hassel of keeping the film chilled
etc etc.

The writer pointed to the benefits in portraiture where blemishes can magically
vanish in the IR spectrum.

So, have any Digilux 2 users given this a shot?
