Just had the XE1 converted to IR. As soon as the sun comes out i will see if the cost was worth it. The weight saving over the D200+17-35 is considerable. In fact, the XE .(IR) and the XT (colour) with 2 lenses (18-55, 55-200) combined are about the same as the D200 and lens. So i can get them all, plus the wifes video, in one bag....and still carry it! Wheres that sun?

I haven't downloaded and assessed them but they looked really sharp on the LCD...though I think I could see a hotspot. Think I need to dig out the old Action to autocorrect it

I think you will find a hotspot with both zooms but they are Photoshop removable! The 14mm, 18mm, or 35mm lens are all very good in IR with no hotspot.

Off on our travels shortly, so no time to do anything now. But i may treat myself to the 14mm next month if the ir looks promising. It would be useful for colour as well....18mm being really 25mm is sometimes too narrow. Have sold 3 nikon lenses to fund XT purchase....but i feel a further purge of nikon gear imminent ....if it all performs well.

Not happy with the 18-55 for IR...nasty hotspot. The 55-200 is ok, but sadly not wide enough. Will need to evaluate the 14mm when I return home. Jonathan, It's interesting that you said the hotspot wasnt too bad using the external filter. Clearly putting the filter inside is exacerbating this effect.

Clearly putting the filter inside is exacerbating this effect.You could compare a few shots with and without an external filter. A 720nm shouldn't effect your exposure very much and it may reduce the hotspot.

See here for some shots from using the XPro1 and 18-55 with R72 filter. http://www.jmknights.com/photography/photos-2/files/page4-1049-full.html http://www.jmknights.com/photography/photos-2/files/page4-1050-full.html Be interested to see one of your images. If you want to Dropbox a RAF then I can compare.
