Hello & thank you for your advice-a good list to note
Agree, not straightforward-I had a Nikon D70 IR converted to 650nm back from the day & used it frequently (to reasonable results) with a cheap dx 18-55 lense. Alas, not the same luck with Fuji (I changed systems completely 3 years ago) though I do prefer their bodies/lenses-they simply have more 'substance'
I don't know how many lenses/websites/enquiries I've made over the last 6 months. I've purchased several lenses/bodies of eBay-only to send them back sorrowfully; due to the notorious hotspots at higher f stops. I'll be sending an xc 15-45 back tomorrow-which I bought on a recommendation from a pro. photographer who blogs about IR too
My 2 lenses (10-24 & 18-55) are great on the X-T2, but on the X-T10 are absolutely disastrous. The challenge is a decent wide-angle (ultra) lense is £400 upwards (I'm thinking 14mm, 18-135mm or Zeiss Touit 12mm) which compared to the price of the body (£290) is quite an offset; hence my 7artisans enquiry
If I am unable to get positive feedback about the 7artisans, I think I'll sell the 18-55 & purchase an 18-135 which will kill 2 birds; or get flush & buy the Zeiss! Thank you again for your advice (I'll check their prices on eBay)

PS-do you know if ND filters will work with an IR converted body?
