I recently converted a cheap, partially broken, E-PL1 to be full spectrum sensitive by removing the filter that cuts UV/IR light. Despite this being a relatively cheap and old camera, the 12-ish megapixels combined with the razor sharp 25mm (50mm full-frame equivalent) honestly delivers plenty of detail.

A black and white (infrared) shot of grassland, with trees in the distance and clouds towering over the landscape. Due to it being infrared only, the foliage appears bright white in the sunlight and the sky above the clouds is almost pitch black

I love how the sky is grimly lacking IR. Nothing much to re-emit IR up there.

    Yeah it's so cool. Honestly, IR is the dream for black and white landscapes: foliage is bright white and the sky very dark. Scenes like these can sometimes look very mundane on a normal camera, and then look absolutely stunning in infrared
