Infrared photography with digital slr and Hoya r 72?

want to take infrared photographs but I don't think the olympus e-300 is convertable. I bought the hoya r72 off ebay and wondering if anyone else has used this filter for IR photography with a digital camera and what successes they have had and what settings had to be modified.
excellent answers so far. I'm also going to be shooting mostly tripod held shots with like say f16 to help with the focusing issues. I've read that the olympus e-300 does produce fair ir with the proper filter as the hot mirror isn't as strong as some brands.

Pick up a TV remote and point it at your camera with a button pushed. Then take a picture. If the light shows, then your camera can take infrared pictures. You won't get as much infrared as you would with a converted camera, but I got some decent IR shots from my Nikon D70 and a Cokin IR filter. Definately use a tripod, as it is a very dark filter. Try taking the color out of the shot for a B&W IR picture, or tweak the color for cool color IR effects.
