Thanks for the info. No need to grouse for old e-mails though.
As an old fan of HIE B&W film I have no interest in FS conversons.
One final question, what lens or lenses do you prefer to avoid 'hot spotting' ?
Thanks,
Don Bryant
Don,
I primarily use the Oly 9-18mm/4-5.6 as I seem to end up shooting wide most of the time.
No hot spot problems that I've noticed, but the lens does flare a lot- like many wide lenses I guess - definitely need the hood.
I have an old Nikkor 43-86/3.5 (second version) seems to work well with IR. Cost me less than $50
Not a focal length range I use a lot though.
I also have a Minolta RokkorX 50/1.4 which is a sweet lens on the m4/3 bodies.
I haven't used it much on the IR body, but noticed no hot spots when I did have a play.
Can't find any IR sample shots handy to me now, but I took this on my old EPL1.
Has very nice smooth out of focus areas.
