OK got the files down on my machine. I will take a look at them tomorrow afternoon.

Initial look the hotspot is nasty as it is dual when you get to f8 and beyond.

Yes. I found that quite intriquing. Why 2?

It must tell us something about HOW it's caused.

Is it the curvature of the rear glass?

I've posted some IR images taken recently with the Fuji XE1, in my gallery.

To over come the hotspot on some I had to shoot a panorama series, thus moving the central hotspot in each image off centre, and then overlaying the images so that the hotspots were covered by the next image.

Eric, when you use the viewfinder on your converted camera, are the immages dark red as they are on a DSLR with a 720nm filter on the front of the lens?

They are sepia tinted 'normally' illuminated in the viewfinder.

Without a white balance correction (ie making a custom white balance from green foliage) the image is red...but not dark red.

I always shoot some grass in full sun and save the wb as default. The colour temperature varies a bit around the year, but as long as I don't do it in low autumn light or late in the day, the wb is usually good enough.

Eric, So some of the IR images from your holiday are not at all badly effected by the hotspot. ;-)

What are your thoughts on the use of the IR converted XE1 ?
Is it as good or better than the D200?

I think that you need to test with a Fuji 14mm .

The XE is a very good performer and a definite lightweight alternative to the D200. It really all boils down to the lens.

If the 14mm has no hotspot (on a converted camera) then it at least gives me a wide landscape option. BUT...with the 18-55 performing so poorly it leaves a big gap in the focal length range.

With the D200 I use the 17-35 ( 25-53mm equiv) almost exclusively.

I've never felt the lack of a wider or longer lens!

I am loathed to ADD more lenses to the Fuji range, as the whole point of this change is reducing weight and complexity when travelling.

I need to go back through my IR images and establish the percentage shot at each focal length. It may give me a steer towards where to go.

But there is no doubt I need to take the XE over to WEX and try all Fuji X lenses for hot spots before committing more cash. Wouldn't it be great if the humble 16-50 (24-75) didn't have a hotspot?

Maybe next week when I have my new vehicle.

Looks like you need to test the 14mm and 35mm primes.
I have 14, 18, 35, 56, 60, 18-55, 55-200 lenses. I will come to UK in September and you can have a test then if you dont get to Wex before!
