They look like they've been there a loooong time.

Great memories! When I was a kid, I think my parents had one or two of these. Considering Canadian winters, they aren't in as bad shape as they could be.
Thanks for posting these.

Some served faithfully.
And now rest (rust?) in pieces.

@WolfsHead
Thanks for your comments. I do appreciate them.

I just sold a bunch gear so the 23mm is what I had left. But now I'm thinking about a used 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR. According to kolarivision.com/lens-hotspot-list the 18-135mm shows IR color vignetting. As I shoot mostly B&W, I'm wondering what that might look like after lens corrections in editing. Maybe a creative plus? If nothing else, 18-135mm gives more flexibility in composition. Probably keep the 23mm for the speed.

Thanks for your responses.

I'm not very familiar with Gimp, or a threshhold function. I also don't use (or like) Lightroom. From my X-E3 I use the jpegs. I have a film simulation called Agfa Scala that I downloaded from Ritchie Roesch at fujixweekly.com (credit where credit is due.) Between that simulation and the 830 filter, It was a purpose decision to get these 3 shots. The Moab shot has a lighter tonal range so I wanted to see how it presents here. When I saw the 2 images from the Tetons and how black the skies were, I thought why not let my inner Ansel have some fun. The river shot was edited to be a very high contrast image with deep dark tones. I zoomed in to 100% and used the contrast/white/black sliders in ACR to get details in the highlights and shadows where I felt they were important, and let the rest go. The trees shot does show some gray tone from water vapor in the sky (upper left,) and a greater tonal range in the mountains and grasses; so more midtones, (black sky aside.) These were my presentation tests: high, mid'ish and low tones. I normally shoot with a 720 filter so I have a good idea now of how and what to present here. Hope you don't mind I wanted to get a feel for how things work on this site before boring you with this back story.

I am a fan of faux color! I currently don't have any filters to create those types of images, but it is fun to shoot full spectrum without any filter at all. Here in SoCal (Southern California) we currently have overcast/sunshine and cool temps. I'll be heading out to do some regular bird photography soon so I'll take the X-E3 along to see if there's anything interesting I can share from around here. I'm looking forward to contributing.

Hello.
I just joined this site and would like to contribute some IR images. I had my Fuji X-E3 converted to full spectrum by LifePixel and currently have a Deep B&W Infrared (830nm) filter attached. Here's some adjustment shots I took with it. (I'm the one adjusting to the camera.)
Please let me know not just about the image quality, but how the size and presentation look also. I aimed for 1500 px on the long side for my first postings.
Thank you.
