Jim,

They definitely do look like real IR (which they are, of course). I 
especially like # 7 and 8 (Concord field). If you think you want to get 
into IR in a serious way, then get a Leica M or some other rangefinder, 
so you do not have to look at the world through a very dark (or even 
opaque) filter.
