Tokina 11-16 lens and Hoya R72 IR Filter
I did some testing yesterday and result shows no hotspot issues with this lens-filter combination. A sample shot:

I would suggest though that to minimize potential hotspots, try to stop down the exposure.
Settings:
Exposure Time = 2 secs
F Number = F11
ISO Speed Ratings = 200
Focal Length = 11mm

How do you like your Tokina 11-16? Would you have considered the Nikon 10-24 or 12-14 instead? I love how you use the Hoya IR filter. Cheers to you as a new papa!
