Q: 4. retro 80 suitable for reversal processing?

A: I have not reverse-processed this film, but the process can be done with virtually any traditional B&W emulsion. I would think that this film would be a very good choice for reversal processing as it is fine grained, has a clear base, and tends to have relatively high contrast.

Q: 5. How would the camera's exposure / auto-metering be affected by using a fill-flash covered with a 720nm filter (as primary light source)?

A: The exposure would be cut down by quite a bit. It doesn't make sense to shoot in auto. You will have to shoot in manual mode and test by trial and error.
