I had my K01 converted to IR a few years ago. I sent it to Isaac Szabo and did a great job. He also converted a Nikon P6000 for me many years ago.
https://www.isaacszabo.com/infrared.html I opted for the 720nm filter. Check out his fish photos while at that website. In terms of lenses, the humble DA 18-55mm kit lens is very good in terms of not having an IR hotspot. Both the original version and the updated WR version work well, and despite being inexpensive optical quality is pretty good. My most used lens with this setup, though, is the D FA 15-30 f2.8. No IR hotspot and optical quality is excellent. My DA 16-45 f4 has a terrible hotspot and the DA 17 - 70 was only marginally better. Haven't tried out many other lenses. Here;s a little flickr collection of shots with the K01: https://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/?start_tab=new_set I also have an IR converted K-10D. I bought it already converted. With a DSLR, you really need to meter through live view for accuracy with IR, the meter in the pentaprism is not sensitive to IR light, and while it can be re-calibrated, it won't be as accurate as metering off the sensor.
