[1] Using the Nikon 18-200/f3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR. The image is most likely heavily polluted by infrared, though there is clearly some contribution from elsewhere in the spectral band (deep violet and long-wave ultraviolet perhaps).
[2] The Venus Filter frame used a Nikon 35mm/f2.5 Series E with original lens coatings.
