Not the stock lens, Chris, in fact not an Olympus lens (!!) but a Sigma
135-400. 

Zuiko Digital lenses produce equally attractive images: 

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/phemy/Springtime-in-Infra-red.jpg.html was
taken with a 14-54 ZD while

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/phemy/From Beinn Eighe.jpg.html  was taken
with a 40-150 ZD - although this image does not have the resolution and
tonality of the Sigma images, more than likely because I had not, at that
stage, properly understood how best to use the IR body - meter in LV using
the histogram, compose in the viewfinder, but leave the AF to find the
correct IR focus (the viewfinder only hinders in this respect - maybe one
day I will think about shimming it to suit IR). 

The body has a 780nM IR filter, so it is almost all IR on these images, very
little visible light.

Thanks for looking!

Piers

     Those are nice IR images.  Was that with the stock E-410 lens, or
something else?
