Needs spectral response curves to really understand what is going on with this filter.

It's 550nm which basically lets a slither of green, all of yellow, orange and red through in addition to IR. All of the images in the above links have been red/blue channel swapped in processing, which is standard procedure for most color IR.

From my understanding, the images are “out of camera(or in camera)”. In the PetaPixel article under the image of the Nikon camera, it states that the goal was to get the effect without channel swapping or extensive PP work. It was then turned over to Kolari. Look at the display on the Canon screen. Also, read the description here:

Interesting, I guess that's why the filter has a blue layer unlike most IR filters which are red. That renews my wanting to see transmission curves
