Infrared?

Has anyone here tried shooting IR using a filter on an unmodified M10?

How did it go?

I have been testing IR on the M10R using an R72 filter. Here’s what seems to be working for me:

R72 filter, JPG monochrome mode, aperture priority mide,  ISO 1600-3200 depending on the scene and sunlight. Use LV to monitor what the image looks like, and what the histogram looks like.

i have a trip coming up where I hope to find good IR subjects - landscape and cityscapes. I will post images from that trip if I get something worthwhile.

Originals were shot at ISO100 - lesson learned. Camera metering doesn't work for IR, but with the image quality of the M10R images are recoverable (within limits, of course).

I might buy a more aggressive IR filter and give that a try.....
