Hi all, I was wondering if it was worth it to get an IR pass filter (B+W 092) for my E-PL6. My other Olympus cameras have rather strong IR blockers (around 13 stops of light loss) so I was wondering if it was worth it to get a 37mm IR filter or a step down ring 40.5mm-37mm for the 40.5mm IR filter I already own.

Use the same IR filter.

Eventually, if you really like doing infrared photos, ask one of your old camera to be converted into an IR cam. You won't need a tripod since about half daylight is infrared rays: the other half (approximatively) is color photons.
