My guess is that putting a Red Filter will just give you IR images in colour, in varying degrees, depending on the strength of the filter. True B&W files can be achieved only by buying a Monochrom, or getting a camera converted by maxmax.com or equivalent. I have seen the printed results with a converted Nikon D850 (in our long running Digital Print Exchange) and they are mind blowing.
