Thanks Eric, but point in fact it is indeed an addiction for me! 15 converted cameras says that I am one sick puppy. All I can do now is feed the monster.
As for your hotspots it is likely an issue with light bouncing back and forth between your lens elements and the filter. Which filters cause the problem and who makes them? I have the LDP version of the UG1 called the XDP. While an interesting filter it actually holds little interest for me.
Have you tried the Tiffen 047B Super Blue filter yet? What a need and interesting effect. IN CAMERA faux color (quality is dependent upon a good WB). This only works on full spectrum conversions like the UG1. Hmm, lets see if I have a test image from it....
OK, remember that this is a TEST shot and it is right out of the camera! It is a try-band color correction filter and who would have thought that it could have a use in IR photography!

OH!! You are shooting an IS-1! That camera is known for its hot spots! I also had one and really liked it except for that. I did discover that you could lessen them by opening up the aperture but you will have to experiment with it on yours. Even with hot spots it is a REALLY nice IR system. I had to sign my life away to purchase it because it was intended for CSI only. I have a post somewhere on the blog about it I think....

Yeeha!!! Finally! Thanks Eric, I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow for the Georgia mountains, hopefully I'll have some time to go shooting then! Not Rome, but still vacation.

Sure, the company is LDP the web site is maxmax.com and they live in NJ.
XNiteXDP58: X-Nite XDPFilter in 58mm Diameter x 2.2mm Thick $86.00
This is a dual passband filter in the UV/IR range that gives ultra white leaves and purple skies! It can be a lot of fun but REQUIRES a camera that has the FULL SPECTRUM conversion ONLY....
Here is the web site:
http://www.maxmax.com/aXNite58mmFilters.asp
I have a post or 2 on this filter on my blog (below in signature) which will show you how it works and what the results are like but you will have to go WAY back into the older posts by clicking at the bottom of each page on Old Posts
Here is a chart of the pass bands, and as you can see, it allows light thru in the upper UV area which poisons the 2nd passband which is in the 700nm region. By poison I mean that it affects the camera sensor where it will combine the UV/IR spectrums but kills the WB which can generate some wild shots!
This is an expensive filter...

When you say full spectrum conversion, what spectrum does that cover. I have an unmodified Fuji IS-Pro that captures 380nm to 1000nm. Is that enough spectrum for the filter to be useful?

Yes, your camera IS a full spectrum conversion direct from the factory!
Which filter interests you?

Thank you. I have several for infrared filters, but would like something to capture the UV end to the extent possible.

OK, well the XDP from maxmax.com or the ug1 (amazon) is just what you need. The 047b super blue is also open on the uv side and that is what helps create the in camera faux but it it HIGHLY dependent upon getting the correct white balance...
Be warned though, these filters are on the expensive side!

Interesting information on that website.
I found a page that shows-
the X-Nite 715nm, which produces a reddish image: http://www.maxmax.com/aXRayIRTestsDSCS30-715.htm
the X-Nite 830nm, which produces a purple image: http://www.maxmax.com/aXRayIRTestsDSCS30-830.htm
And, what is listed as the XPD, which produces an orange image:
