Hi I'm thinking about converting my gx85 for the same reason as you because its small and would be great to have with me... Who did your conversion? and which one specifically did you go with? I keep thinking full spectrum then id can change the filter for a few different looks but im just not sure
@@robrob6457 I shoot a fair amount of infra red but only with filters on the lens. I’ve had good results with the Olympus OM-EM 5ii and I think they’re pretty cheap these days. Also has IBIS. Rob’s pictures are amazing so if that’s what you get with a 720nm conversion go for that. The low light capabilities of current cameras means I can shoot handheld with a 780nm filter at about f11 and still get clean shots. No where near as good as a converted camera though.
It does and I do refer to it - however… sometimes the reports are based around a 720nm conversion and you may get hotspots with an 830nm conversion. It’s definitely a great way to get an idea if a lens is suitable though (especially if using 720nm or below)

Nice video Jason. One correction, the G7 doesn't have IBIS
Thanks! Yep, I realised that as soon as I got home and did a bit of research! Explains why the ibis in the g7 isn’t very good 😂
What conversion did you do? Which IR
720nm on that camera
Hi, great video!. I'm looking to buy my first infra red converted camera and as a beginner wondered if you had any advice or recommendations?
Thanks! Where are you based (country) and do you own a normal camera at the moment?
I'm based in the UK. I have a Nikon camera at the mo, but I am not looking to convert this camera.

KolariVision's "Lens Hotspot Database" lists lenses that are good, and bad, for IR photography - including Micro Four Thirds.
