I once had a regular 35mm camera that had a lens with markings for
focusing properly when taking IR pictures.  I assumed that IR film was
available somewhere.  Since the camera was not bought for (nor ever used
for) that purpose, I assume that the lens' IR capability was not
particularly special.

Of course, this is from memory, and it's possible I'm wrong about what
the markings meant.
