Thought this may interest some of you. I use a Fuji X-E1 permanently converted to 590nm, but I also use screw on 850nm filters, at least with lenses where I can screw them on . The Samyang fisheye was therefore a problem. Google tells me I can use a 37mm filter glass removed from it's housing trapped between the lens and camera, which I tried and it worked, but it's not very elegant. The filter rattles about and is easily lost when swapping lenses, so I made a very quick and very modern solution - a 3D printed filter ring that holds the filter snugly in the back of the lens.
Here it is:
Works a treat, though it should be noted that used like this the results are much poorer than without filters, F16 is needed to get anything vaguely in focus. Could be the filter material/quality or could just be that the Samyang does not do well in that part of the infra red spectrum.
If anyone else feels the need, I've made it available from my Shapeways shop. https://www.shapeways.com/product/E8LHLQB6J/samyang-rear-filter-holder-37mm
