After reading my post regarding full spectra conversion of the little known, Nikon 1 J1 DSLR Called:
CHAPTER 1 CHOICE OF THE VICTIM AND HER DESCRIPTION... JimH123 requested a sample
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-767188-1.html#13774424Note the well defined specks in the sky... sad to say, dirty cove glass of the sensor. Following the general UHH advice that sensor are extremely easily damaged i did not clean it. That advice is wrong, sensors have a tough glass cover adhered to protect the more delicate parts. I will take the camera apart again and make sure that the sensor and the microscope slide that replaces the anti aliasing filter and the Hot-mirror IR filter. The un-coated microscope slide glass is there to keep the sensor assembly clean of dust.
"How Scratch-Proof is a Sony Mirrorless Sensor?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLzrS3aSJWEThe photo shows clearly that I have dust on the sensor glass... if elsewhere the specks would be out of focus. Mainly the image is displayed to show that the Nikon 1 J1 DSLR with the 1" sensor can make a successful IR camera. The image uses the Nikon 1 10-30mm lens.

Strange isn't it that This Black Sheep of the Nikon Family is actually an excellent series.
What is your favorite lens?
I will of course take mine apart and clean the senor array ... the dis and re assembly is now quick since it is familiar territory.

I'm using the 10-30. There is some vignetting at 10mm but goes away at about 12mm or so. Nikon 1 Lens are few and far between on these. Haven't tried adapting yet.

My solution to vignetting is to use a step up ring to allow larger filters to be used.

I have an array of 52mm filters. Finding the 42.5mm/52mm adapter was easy on Amazon. $8
Full spectrum mirrorless is definitely my preferred approach to IR & I've sometimes considered adding a smaller camera to my FS options - currently MFT & Sony FF - but the Nikon 1 series would encourage yet another range of lenses.
Perhaps I'll find a nice pre-converted Pentax Q (I've got lenses & adapters for that). I would prefer to have an EVF however, they can be a big help in strong sunlight.
