Re: LifePixel IR B&W conversion X-E2

I've had a LifePixel converted X-M1, (And an Olympus and a Nikon Coolpix A) they do great work. Tried a gentleman in Arkansas for my last conversion of an X-T1, I really do love having a dedicated IR body and being able to flip lenses is great. The 16MP sensor is in fact better for IR than higher res sensors, to my eye - bigger photo sites helps.

For IR work, mirrorless bodies win - I thought that converting an X100 series would make sense, as I could use the optical viewfinder when I didn't want to see IR, but there's never a need NOT to see what the camera will record. With a converted DLSR, the viewfinder will always lie to you.
