A6000, 590nm
What type of filters are you using? The last few pics that I posted at Yates Mill are taken with the 35 Distagon with either IR590 (color IR) or IR850 (B&W IT) on it. I don't see any hot spots on my copy but all of my shots were taken between f/2.5-f/9. I'm using Kolari Vision branded filters.I'm getting hot spots with the Sony-Zeiss 35mm f/1.4. I'll have to give it another try. I've been using the 24-70mm f/4 primarily for [665nm] IR.

Thanks Joe.Tre, I'm shooting with a LifePixel converted a7R, with their 665nm "Enhanced Color" option, so no [external] filters. I hadn't seen your Yates Mill shots until just now. Well done. It's one of my favorite subjects, for IR or otherwise as you can see here.

i am using a modified A7R . Recently bought the the new CV 15mm III, but it has a hotspot. My current wide is an old zuiko 24 2.8 , which is ok but subject to lots of vignetting, i am back in market for good compact FE wide lens(es).jack, shooting IR with the a7R is a great strategy. I don't shoot full spectrum because I have an aversion to carrying filters and trying keep up with them, especially with different lens filter sizes. So I went with the LifePixel 665nm conversion and have been happy with it.
I use the FE 24-70mm almost exclusively, having experienced hot spot issues with other FE lenses. Tre is probably a better source of information on lens compatibility than I am. The 24-70mm is a good, not great, general purpose zoom that you can find on Fred Miranda or eBay at a reasonable price (used, not new).
I'm working on an article for my blog on IR photography with the a7R that I will publish in the next few days. It's not a tutorial, but will have some tips and resource links that might prove helpful. Stay tuned.

I forgot to mention the 16-35... Don had one and it looked like a great lens on IR. I may need to pick one up eventually.I use Sigma A 10-20 f/3.5 and Sony 16-35 f/4 on my A6000. I don't have hotspot trouble. I'm hoping to sell my A6000 and convert my A7II to full spectrum. Then I'll stick to 16-35.
Welcome Mike in Brazil.
I had foot surgery and am out for a day, and look what happens, Jack Flesher:thumbs:
Nice shot and I'm not a fan of this NC heat/humidity right now. I'll probably force myself to shoot the Batis' this weekend though if at all possible.Too hot here for anything other than a backyard shot.
I just posted an article on my blog summarizing my experiences with infrared photography using the Sony α7R. Feedback and comments are always welcome.

I've dealt with hot spots much worse than this. How is it at f/8? Thanks for sharing this info, Tre.This is a 25 Batis IR850 Test shot @ f/4... Not horrible but not great. It's a little hot in the middle but nowhere near as bad as the 85 Batis that blooms throughout most of the central part of the image.
