Thanks, Larry, for your pictures on camera SD15.

Ted he sent me 4 RAWs, which I processed and enlarged in Lightroom. Upsizing and sharpening works very well. It is possible to work with images from the SD15 camera in this way.

Something to consider is that a FFF will be mirrorless and so will probably not have a removable IR filter so no easy conversion to IR photography by just removing the IR filter.

Unlike the mirrorless sd Quattros ?

Quattros don't have true mirrorless lens to sensor spacing. They're just a dslr without the mirror. I'm not that familiar with the FP but I don't think they have removable IR filters.

They don't -- at least, not removeable by the average user. There are specialists who will do it for you for a fee.

A caveat for those who get that done. I sent my G1 in for conversion not realizing that all they remove is the filter, not the CFA. So when I took my first shots outside, they did not have the ugly magenta cast a la Foveon - almost normal RGB in fact.

Still the IR effect was available with a 720nm on the lens:

Followed by some mapping in the GIMP:

what you get is definitely not what you saw ...
