Hi, Just ordered 1/2 dozen SFH785P LEDs...I note that the diodes shown have a round lens, as opposed to the model commonly shown in the forum that has a flat head profile.

Do I need to file these flat, or is the FOV okay without taking this step.
I plan to go for SERIAL BUILD 5 volt - USB powered set-up, clip made, USB adapter configured, just needing my LEDs to arrive and a 10 ohm resistor.
Will either use an IR filtered removed VX1000 or a PS3 Eye (can't remove the IR filter on this), or failing that I'll steal one of the kids Wii remotes :-)

Hi,

they simply used a general photo for several references.
You can see the right one on the technical data sheet:
