p.2 #1 · Infrared on Sony - anyone doing it these days?

My converted camera has shipped from LifePixel, so I'm starting to think about which of my lenses might work best/worst. Looking at the various online databases which document IR performance, it seems that none of them are updated any more; they only list older e-mount lenses.
Anyone have experience with any of these?:

12mm ƒ5.6 Voigtlander
14mm ƒ4 Viltrox

@Grenache@ - I see you're using the 24mm GM; that's good to know, as it's one of my favorites.
ChatGPT found some reports that the two Voigtlanders are goo.
I used the Sony 28-60 on my 830nm A7VIII, which I sold. The 28-60 was working fine in terms of hot spot, so was the Tamron 17-28. I just bought back a Sony 28-60 for my soon-to-be Sony A6700 830nm IR camera, the camera is on its way to Life Pixel.
