Re: IR filter?

Why don't you just hold it in front of the camera, or tape it on? That would answer your question.

I tried it with my E-PM2 and the results were ugly. Since then, I have converted it to IR only and the results are good.

There is also an option to just remove the hot mirror filter and replace it by a glass plate - then you could have both "regular" and IR (and UV) photography with the same body. Drawback is that you would then need filters for either option, either an IR blocking (hot mirror) filter, or an IR filter (720nm etc).
