Apparently the 105/1.4E does well in IR. Thus, as of today, I'm joining the owners list.

Congrats. I'll keep my Zeiss 135/2: one cannot have everything. Plus , a MF Lens for doing event shoots: now that's a real challenge nowadays.

AF focus in IR is off, but not by a wide margin even at f/1.4. probably can be adjusted by a fine-tune. Excellent IR contrast and sharpness, no signs of any hot spot. Actually I had expected such an issue to manifest itself, but today's test shooting bears out the lack of any hot spot.

Jakov, you are made of stern stuff, but there is a limit to what pressure even you can withstand ...

For visible-light work, one gets amazing sharpness for landscapes even at near wide open aperture. Many lesser lenses won't come close at their best apertures. Period.

For 'pure' IR with no visible-light components, sharpness at f/1.4 is again amazing.

For 'false-colour emulated Ektachtrome' stuff,  a current favourite inclination of mine, there is significant visible light present and due to the focus offset, stopping down is recommended. Results are marvellous once the aperture is adjusted to cater for the required additional depth of focus.

A standard test subject ('my lake') in false-colour emulated Infrared Ektachrome. Not the most enticing subject in pictorial terms, but who cares. This is in fact an amazingly good rendition very close to what the film delivered in its days. For example, various deciduous tree species are identifiable and well separated from the confers.
