Re: ... Samsung NX mini : First Light at prime focus...

Hi Geo 🖐️

I finally removed the IR-cut filter from my NX mini, but before that I bought another one.

So now I have one full spectrum and one normal NX mini.

I didn't test it in a lab, but after the removal of the filter, the camera seems to have become sharper!

I find that surprising because it is hard for the lens to correct chromatic aberrations, which is challenging for full spectrum photography. I shot a few indoor photos, but at the first moment, I thought it might be because there was no infrared light inside. However, there was IR light inside the room, because I needed to correct the white balance to get rid of the red color all over the photo.

Anyway, I'm just curious to experience the removal of the protective glass of the 9mm lens and use a DIY cap instead. It's so bad when the sun is in the frame that it almost completely ruins the entire shot with VERY bad flare/ghosting. I guess the protective glass is to be blamed.

So I wonder if I can have your comment. I also thoroughly searched in the internet but nothing could I find about any tutorial on doing that.

Thanks 😊
