Received my IR-converted Panasonic GF1 yesterday. Looks nice and as shown below, it can use the EL-Nikkor 50mm f/.8 enlarger lens with focus from near 1:1 to infinity. Plus a plethora of other odd lenses of course.
Already tested that the EL-Nikkor 50/2.8 has no IR hotspot.

How much can one of those creatures cost with IR conversion?
-
I paid 150 GP for the camera + conversion with internal 720nm filter. The seller did a good job as far as I can ascertain. The camera was hardly used and looks like new. Quick delivery across the North Sea as well :)

Spring has arrived at the local wetlands. A luxuriant stand of Yellow Flag Iris pseudacorus is rendered vere bright in IR. The invasive floating liverwort Ricciocarpos natans already blankets open water areas - it's invasive dispersal over the last years has been staggering in my region.
Panasonic 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH on IR-modified GF1. Apparently this native lens has no objectionable IR hot spot.

Obviously you have used the camera today. And you created an image with an apocalyptic touch.
-
Why do I think this is interesting?
Because
a) ALDI did not advertize at all for decades
b) ALDI sends a kind of "sociopolitical message" here stating they care for all which means they care for the poor
c) they do not go for an official billboard here but book a semilegal service to gain "street credibility"
d) Albert-Heijn-aesthetics copied
all very unusual

Experimenting with lenses to learn their behaviour on the IR-modified Panasonic GF1. The Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 ASPH apparently works, although there is a tad more vignetting than I had hoped for.

The meaning of "DOF".
There is just a single plane of focus and everything else is an illusion of rendered details. The object is a rear lens cap, of yellow colour. Thus the crescent shape of the background is for real.

The Aldi family is impoverished and needs money.

Your studies and meditations on photography are very good, sometimes your work is magical.

Nice effort from your grandson. :)
I worry about the corks however; is the captain of the ship a heavy drinker? ???

NikonGear is a bad influence. Why else would I be trying to use an enlarging lens on a short focusing helicoid to take a portrait?

We feel your pain :)
On the other side, why not? The focusing likely is very slow, like in the older days, and that might, just might, make taking the photo more enjoyable??
Besides, enlarger lenses tend to be quite affordable items.

in the past and future forest. currently out of service.
Is there a cure for fern? any fast growing cover crop that feeds on it and supports the new trees as well?

How do
I * Frank permanently get rid of bracken?
Repeated removal of new stems and sections of rhizome will weaken and eventually eradicate bracken. Position your fork at the base of the stems to minimise soil disturbance. Cut or crush stems – damage fronds by cutting them back or crushing them while shoots are still young and tender.
*I happen to like Bracken in all its subspecific variability

Agree Frank, Birna.

Ha! Works both ways...in fact, I pre-date the lens by at least 25 years!

I found the tiny Kyoei W.Acall 35mm f/3.5 M39 hidden in a cupboard. I vague recalled it was useless for UV (the M42 version is very fine for this), so many years ago I was about to throw the lens away but didn't. Apparently it likes IR if nothing else.

It has been good fun adapting the lens and trying to use it. The hardest part of focusing on a moving subject (my son will not hold still :) ) is the narrow ring on the helicoid that is right up against the camera body.
Besides, enlarger lenses tend to be quite affordable items.
I'm going to need a bigger cupboard :o
