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

Hi Geo 🖐️
Hi Siamak !
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.
Good ! So now, you can confirm the Full-Spectrum is +/- 1.3 EV more sensitive !
I didn't test it in a lab, but after the removal of the filter, the camera seems to have become sharper!
Surprising ! Maybe Your NX-mini's AF worked better inside Your lighting conditions ?
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.
I fully agree with all that.
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.
I think that's some useless pain ! For a few $ you'll find a 9-27 which is much sharper :
see what the NX-mini can do with that lens in a ray of sun : Posts #1012, #1014 :

Please forgive me : my first macro shots at f/7 without a viewfinder !
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.
With some luck, a rare and Sharp 17mm f/1.8 OIS is available !
Thanks 😊
I think my comment about DPR's camera of the decade will make you laugh :

I just replaced Samsungs by NX-mini ?
