I shoot a fair bit of IR.
1) I have not tied on a K100D or K100D super, but I have seen decent results from the K100D and would asume the same would go for the super.
2) the Ds is rather sensitive to IR, especially in the red channel.
Here is an example:
(Ds - DA40 - 1/s - f8.0 - ISO 100)
THe Ds as the K100D benefits from a higher base sensitivity, as well as a higher sensitivity to IR in general.
3) Well I actually use my R72 filter quite a lot on the K10D, exclusively for B&W though.
and it does have certain advantages, mainly the ability to achieve long shutter speeds at broad daylight.
I have seen two examples of an odd noice pattern in my photos, one was due to flare and the other that I did not cover the viewfinder. The latter is very important to avoid it.
Anyway here are a few examples of my use of it:
K10D - A24 - 30s - f4.0 - ISO 640
K10D - FA77ltd - 30s - f7.1 - ISO 100
K10D - A24 - 30s - f7.1 - ISO 400
