I recently had an M200 converted to full-spectrum infrared (IR), and have been experimenting with it.

All images were shot RAW, white balance was set in post using the gray part of the cloud on the horizon.

I'd love to hear other folks' experiences with IR on M!

I'm shooting IR on a different camera but on your M, try setting the white balance on location, using green instead of a cloud. Anything green works, I have a green plastic card, an old library card, that works well when there isn't any grass. This gives a much cleaner look to your image.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that. I have experimented with setting white balance before shooting at a scene... seems some folks recommend setting it on something neutral like a cloud or concrete, some who want their foliage to go 'white' suggest doing it on foliage or something green.  I agree that setting it in camera during the shoot gets you in the ballpark and makes post-processing easier.
