Nice work Vic. I had the same conversion and have been using it as is for colour IR or with 830 filters for mono. I have just ordered an R72 for my main IR lens to see if I prefer it. I think your colour shots are working better than mine. If I like it I'll get a bigger filter for my 14mm. I could have got a bigger one anyway but I hate step-up rings, and if I leave the filter on the cap wouldn't fit unless I got a bigger one of those too.

Thanks Andy. Are you sure the cap won't fit on the filter? I went out with 3 lenses14, 23, 35, filters on each and original lens caps. I don't bother with 850 now. If I have an R72 on that does quite a good job as you can see from the one B&W image above. I still take it to try and see if it improves B&W but it hasn't yet.  I process for B&W in Silver FX.

Regards, Vic
