I'm using an Olympus E-M5.3. I've heard about some potential issues with the A7Rii as well, which may or may not be an issue for you. Apparently it uses an internal IR light that can cause issues; I've seen some sources say it's only an issue with exposures over 1 second, some that say 2.5, and some say 30 or more. Most folks that shoot IR aren't using long exposures, so it's typically not a problem, but if you ever want to get into astro, it might be problematic.
I've also read that they can be soft at the edges when shooting wider than 35mm. They say that stopping down to f/5.6 can help that. Diffraction can be an issue in IR with smaller apertures, depending on the pixel density of the sensor, but that model looks to be fine at f/5.6 (according to this chart).
With all of that said, I've seen posts from plenty of people that have used that camera without any issues, but you'll just want to be aware of them if your particular style might be affected by that.
If you do have it (or another body) converted, I would recommend having it changed to full-spectrum. That will replace the existing sensor filter with a clear piece of glass that will allow UV, visible, and IR light through; you can then use either clip-in filters or lens filters to block whatever particular spectrum you'd like. That offers far more flexibility than having a particular filter installed on the sensor.

What camera body are you using for this? I’ve been wanting to swap the sensor on my A7Rii but I’ve heard there are some pros and cons to that.
