Fun with the Fuji X-Pro 2 and X-T 2

So, back in the infrared sandbox!

I bought some infrared filters with different cut off wavelength and went out in the sun...
(Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen)

X-Pro 2, 10-24mm, 850 nanometer. F6.4, 4.3 seconds exposure, ISO 1600


The result is a picture that only a mother can love.
(But I do actually like it with the "nice" artefact from sun reflections)...

But regarding the next photo, even it´s mother will have a hard time loving it..
X-Pro 2, 18-55mm, 950 nanometer. F11, 30 seconds exposure, ISO 6400, Jpeg straight out of camera



The filters are 77mm witch means that I have to use adapter rings, so the filter is situated about 15-20 mm in front of the lens
And the result is a massiv hot spot with heavy reflections.
So all this means that there is a hard IR-filter on this camera.

Note to self: Always listen carefully to Will . It saves both time and money :cry:

So no more fiddling with IR-filters on this camera. Next step will be a new IR-converted camera. That works so much better!
Maybe a X-Pro 2 since I already have a bunch of lenses. But I must investigate how the different lenses behaves in infrared.

Obviously! :cool:

Ray, maybe it is just the lens. My X Pro2 is not converted. I mostly use the 23mm f/2 and sometimes the 14mm f/2.8. Under certain situations, the 23mm shows a hot spot, but nothing like your--impressive!

Lesson learned:
I just don't want the hassle with different filters if I am to buy one optimised for the different filter treads for my lenses.
And if I have a converted camera I will be able to compose without problem and work with a good withe balance directly in camera.

My previous experience of an converted was that it was smooth and simple to work with!

And I already paid about 25% of the cost for an IR conversion of a camera for different filters.
And if I am to buy separat filters for the lenses, then I will have passed the conversion cost with a good margin.

Now I just have to find a smooth way to forget the cost of a new camera and just focus on how much I will save on filters that I don't have to buy!

I will find a way :chug:

Wet, windy and cold in the N E of England this morning. Ideal for B&W photography! The shot below is from Hebburn marina on the south side of the river Tyne looking north east. X-Pro2 + 16-55mm F2.8:

Thanks friends :D

A few with the XT2 and 16mm 1.4. I really think the 16mm 1.4 is a very good portrait lens. Jpg's are quite remarkable too.
