Been meaning to do this for a while, so this is my UV/IR kit (although I have no doubt I've forgotten some of it);

• Canon EOS 5DS R, Monochrome multispectral conversion
  Done by MaxMax, monochrome multispectral conversion with Schott WG280 over the sensor.
  
• Canon EOS 7D Mk1, UV conversion
  Done by Advanced Camera Services UK (ACS), with one of their proprietary filters.
  
• Nikon D810, UV conversion
  Done by ACS with one of their proprietary filters.
  
• Canon EOS 300D, IR conversion
  Bought second hand, and not much known about it.
  

Lenses

• Hasselblad UV-Sonnar, 105mm f/4.3, plus Novoflex adapters to use on 35mm Nikon and Canon SLRs.
  
• Rayfact, Nikon 105mm f/4.5 UV-Nikkor.
  
• Asahi 85/4.5 Ultra-Achromatic Takumar (x2).
  
• Soligor 35mm f/3.5.
  
• Steinheil Munchen Cassar S, 50mm, f/2.8.
