Background: My primary gear consists of D800e's and a slew of AFS and some manual focus lenses.
My 'alt' gear consists of a Sony A7R (with thin filter modification) that I shoot with adapted M-mount lenses and a NEX-3 converted to 665nm that I shoot primarily with the Sony 16-50mm kit lens. In addition to these two bodies, I also pack a Zeiss ZI body.
What I'd like is an e-mount (or FE mount) body with a viewfinder with a full spectrum IR conversion. I'm thinking of either A) getting my A7R converted to full spectrum or B) buying a NEX6 or A6000 for full spectrum conversion. I intend to use the converted body for IR as well as 'normal' images.
My conundrum:
Option A) Having the A7r converted would allow me to carry only one body for IR and 'normal' images. Obviously, I'd have to buy a hot mirror filter, but I won't have to spend more money for a new body.
I'm especially interested in hearing fro those who have the full spectrum conversion.
Your thoughts?
Thanks.

- What is the IQ like with a mirror filter compared to a non-converted body?
- Is focus peaking (with my M-mount lenses) tougher with a full spectrum converted body?
