I plan to test my R glass tomorrow.

OK, this is an updated list of my IR lens test.  I have added one additional TL (the 60mm f2.8 APO) and a dozen R lenses.  I was very pleased as to how well the R lenses did.

older lenses with no coatings and fewer elements will also give interesting results

IR Hot Spot Testing

SORRY, I was wrong about the Sigma 45mm f2.8 for IR use.  I did a bit (allbeit basic) testing of my (SuperColor) converted CL and this is what I got.

 

I plan to test my R glass tomorrow.

 

 

more test for Leica SL Lenses please

I went a bit crazy with my new skin, but I figured why not.  LOL

 

I was disappointed to discover that the TL 35 F 1.4 was NOT an ideal IR lens, but many of my other (TL and M) lenses are.

Where do you get the new skin to replace the one removed to do conversion? I may need to get a new skin

Danno, this list of lenses and properties is very helpful.  I'm just starting IR, and this lets me know which lenses to try first.  In the R list, you mention a 28-50mm f2.8 zoom.  I'm not familiar with that lens, and am hoping it is a typo.  Could you mean the 28-90mm F2.8-4.5?  I have this one and hope it is GREAT, as you say.

SORRY  Yes, you are correct.  Sorry for the typo

This is an example of a Converted CL with the T 60mm lens.  Still playing with the various post processing options.

Can anyone recommend a reputable company in the UK that does IR conversions? I am interested in getting my T converted.

See post below, og perhaps @Marac will chime in...

I can add that 21mm Super-Elmar-M f3.4 - at all apertures I have used - works great for IR on M8.
