I have converted a Nikon D70, D80 and D7100 (above) and have sourced Kolari for my 720nm filters.
They provided me with great advice and great filters.
I find that a DX sensor is good enough for my purposes but will most likely convert my Nikon FX when I make the shift to mirrorless.
An IR focus shift can be implemented in-camera for DSLRs. Basically this means mounting the sensor pcb closer to the lens by means of 3 appropriately sized washers. It works remarkably well.
I tend to find that published lens / hotspot / tables do not always reflect my own Nikon experiences. Sensor and filter material/quality are variables that are not always captured. I do not like modern Nikon lenses for IR so gravitate towards vintage manual focus glass. 16/3.5 24/2.8 NC, 28/2.8, 50/2 H, 85/1.8 H are all fantastic on my camera/sensor/filter combo.
I will say that I have always been really, really impressed by IR results from Fuji cameras and their modern lenses. Some great photos out there.
As others have said IR opens up opportunities during the mid-day sun.
I am very much in envy of a GFX50 IR conversion. Nice
