Thank you, Cindy !This series is really beautiful. I looked through them all on Flckr.
I love the detail that the 830nm filter brings out.

Thanks Cindy. Yes, a little hot spot, but more concerned about some lateral loss of sharpness with the 32. I haven't figured that out yet.I'm excited to follow your findings, Carl. Congrats on the new conversion.
BTW, I found a hot spot problem with my Zeiss Touit 32mm. Have you seen any?
Are you using autofocus? I have found that when I mount the 18-35 f/1.8 DT Sigma on the LA-E4, I can not depend on autofocus. I have registered a correction at AF micro adjust -20 and that does not quite do it. I have to tweak with manual focus.Thanks Cindy.

Yes, I use AF. Usually no problem, but for scenes with distant objects auto focus is not very reliable. I'll try some adjustment and see if it improves, otherwise I may have to MF with this lens.Are you using autofocus?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new conversion.Hi All,
Fantastic thread, I found this place while googling for information on IR converted sony nex cameras and it seems I've found a good place for discussion with several members here displaying superb use of of their converted nex bodies.
A couple of days ago I received a brand new Sony A3000 converted for full spectrum, which I'm very pleased with, see an example I've taken here: https://flic.kr/p/oj46DV
However whilst it seems to work well with my normal mid to telephoto lenses, I was hoping to use my SEL1018 quite a lot alas the performance is terrible with that lens. Edges are horribly out of focus and there appears to be a considerable hotspot in the center too. The filter I'm using on this lens is a cheap one, but I'm loathed to pay good money for a better filter of the lens just isn't likely to work on converted cameras.
Has anyone here tried this lens on a converted camera?
Thanks Cindy, I'm loving the new camera even if I can't use my favourite lens with it! I went for a stroll last night and found myself lifting the camera to my face all the time just to see what things look like in IR it's a bit like looking at the world with new eyesWelcome to the forum and congrats on the new conversion.
I have not used that lens, so I can't help you on the hot spot issue. I don't think the filter would be causing the hot spot. It is usually lens coatings. It is possible that a cheap filter might cause problems with your edges. I hope someone can shed more light on this for you.
