Most of Rollei infrared filters have the advantage they needn't focus shift compensation ( the red mark you see in several SLR cameras focusing ring) because they are or were made with a special optical construction to compensate themselves the focus shift and since a true infrared filter is a "black" filter, the TLR has the advantage you can focus as always. Taking as reference the opaque Hoya R72 IR filter that allows to pass dark red and infrared above 720nm, the Rollei Infra-red filter allows to pass dark red and infrared rays above 700nm, it would be a R70 filter, close to the Hoya and then you can take your films exposures with this Hoya R72 as basis, f.e.Efke IR 820nm Aura rate at 1/1.5 ISO, Aperture f/16, 1 - 8 seconds exposure (suggested in the Freestyle website, they sell some infrared films, I also saw in B&H website infrared film like "Rollei/AGFA" for different film formats ).
