I love infrared, and have been shooting it since film days. I did have a small digital that I converted but it wasn't the same. This looks amazing the image quality out of it looks much better than the camera I had converted.
Big fan on 590nm with a channel swap for pink foliage and blue skies, but also use some cheap aliexpress "irchrome" digital aerochrome filters that are an absolute blast.
I’m glad to hear you’ve been getting good results on the aliexpress ir chrome! I’ve been on the fence about getting that one. Have you ever used variable IR filters? Saw one on Amazon but not sure if it’ll be any good
my opinion is that they are hokum, just a variable ND (which is just two polarizers rotating against each other IIRC) over a 590nm filter, it sort of does what it says but it's not really changing the wavelength of light thats being let through the way a true IR filter is.
Thank you, that is great to know. Will definitely be picking up a 590nm soon and will check out the ir chrome. Someone recommended that I try a UV pass filter too - may look into that soon

Please let me know when you start producing them
Thank you for the feedback!! I’ll definitely keep you updated
Hi Malcolm, nice build... What os is running under the hood?
Thank you - rasp pi os lite
Would love to see it with some other wavelength filters!
Would definitely try some out! Any you recommend?
