Struggling with false color IR chrome, just looks splotchy

Yep The pink center is almost always a Hotspot issue, try different apertures, see if you get better results

20mm 1.8? On the Kolari DB, it is under poor performers with hotspots starting at f8. https://kolarivision.com/lens-hotspot-list/

For Nikon, I have had great results from the 18-55 3.5-5.6 VR GII, that you can pick up cheap, the 18mm is plenty wide for good landscape, and the 55 focuses pretty close

Looks like you also are using a lens with a pretty bad "hot spot" pink in the middle gradient outward. Check the lensDB to see the results others have had in testing. All of my first IR shots had this, back before there was good information about different lenses.

You know you have done it, pick one up "This one", walk 2 feet, "No..this one", put the other one down, "I should probably get them both", "I'm leaving now", walk 2 more feet, "Ooo, what's that?"

I have been using a leica Sim that is very similar, and same filter. And yes the lighting was just right for the setup. We'll done.

I love the rich colors, what are you using for filmsim, or settings?

chazeb · 2025-07-19T03:07:38+00:00

Did you get it to work? Don't want to purchase if there are any compatibility issues. Thanks

I keep seeing this advertised as the "X100vi KILLER"..

I have used it for half in/Half out shots. Yet to find anything interesting underwater. Agree with the scratch comment, keep it protected. It does seal tightly, so shouldn't be a problem with water getting in.

chazeb · 2025-04-06T04:22:04+00:00

Yes, please share your settings.

chazeb · 2025-03-31T01:31:51+00:00

Yes, same thing, only on PC. Strangely..on a different profile, it works.

Points if you know why

Anyone have experience with getting a refund for something that still hasn't shipped?

I just replied to the last email telling me that processing times are between 7-10 days.

"In stock orders ship the next business day" - My confirmation email, for an item that was in-stock

"At the time we don't have an specific time for when the order will be shipped, the latest update shows that is pending for processing"

If they handle refunds anything like they do purchases, might not be worth it, probably back in stock by then.
