A quick tip for anyone that are considering to convert a camera to infrared: if you convert it to full spectrum, you'll have the flexibility to use various infrared filters and take photos as fast as a regular camera. If you use a filter on a regular camera, you could require a long shutter speed to get a good result. And you can also get a filter that makes it like a regular camera, so the same camera can be used for infrared and regular shots

Thanks for posting another great video. I got a full spectrum conversion on a Z5 a few months ago that I use with filters, and 720nm is by far the one I use most often. When the light is bad for my regular camera, it's great for IR. With my Z lenses, some of them like the 50mm /1.8 are perfect, while others have hotspots that appear if I stop down below /8.

Thomas, good sources for knowledge which lens creates hotspots at which aperture are for example kolarivision, edwardnoble and robsheaphotography. Also manual vintage lenses without coatings tend to have no hotspots at all. I use some Konica Hexanon lenses adapted to my full spectrum X-T10 and they work excellent. Got my camera converted after you inspired me last year btw. Thanks for that, no regrets at all. And I use it also for astrophotography with the increased sensitivity in the reds.

Hello Thomas. I converted my X-T2 several years ago. I have found the Fujifilm 18-135mm lens to be fantastic for infra red through it's entire focal range. This lens may be a variable aperture, but for landscapes it works perfectly fine. And for the range of zoom, it's the only lens I need for it. You should give it a try.

Your videos from last year started my own IR photography journey. Thank you for that! One note on IR filters on unconverted cameras with long exposure: that might not work for some camras. In particular, Sonies have very powerful hot mirror filter which hardly lets any IR light in, so with 720nm filter they will just be let through a tiny portion of visible light.

Another IR option is to go with the Sigma Foveon cameras that have a removable IR cut filter in front of the sensor, such as the Sigma SD1 Merrill or the Sigma SD Quattro.
