Re: Converting an *ist-D to IR
Conversions are expensive. Since the sensor sees in the IR, I think all they do is remove the filter that blocks some of the IR. Try a filter like the Hoya 72 which blocks out the other light. The advantage of the conversion is that more IR gets to the sensor.

Re: Converting an *ist-D to IR
I looked it to converting mine a while back, and the places i contacted said they did not do Pentax cameras. Not enough people would buy them to convert. I had a reply typed up but never sent it.:-) I just used a tripod and bought a Hoya R72 filter. It did a really good job. A photo i took at GFM in 2006 earned me a 2nd place in one of the catagories.

I'm also aware that there are various types of conversions, i.e. tuned to different wavelengths, so if you'd like to comment on the pros and cons of those as well feel free to do so. It's something that I've been thinking of myself. I've experimented with IR and using IR filters over my flash so I can use a flash in a dark room and not blind the dancers. At SFLX I met someone who was shooting with a Fuji IS-1. I just got an email back from him last night http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/digital_cameras/is/finepix_is1/index.html Here are a few of the shots he did with it outside. http://rabscuttle.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=irscene1008 There are a few ir shots from last year in Sacramento. http://rabscuttle.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=saclx09ir There are some in this years mix as well. Nothing too exciting from this event, but a few amusing shots. http://rabscuttle.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=20100919sflx I've got a lumix FZ20 that has been converted, but I think he just added a filter, rather than taking the old IR blocking filter off, because using the sunny 16 rule it seems to be about ISO 8. Shots that I got with it are posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157606110993706/ Using IR flash and overpowering the weak IR filter on my K100 gave me these shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157603983302091/ The Fuji isn't much more expensive than having a conversion done, and doing it with a point and shoot has the advantage that it will focus with the light that is hitting the sensor. If you focus optically with visible light, you then have to correct for the proper IR focus point. One interesting feature of IR, is that portraits taken in IR tend not to show a lot of the skin blemishes that people have, so some women really like the effect. thanks, Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Converting an *ist-D to IR
There are two ways to do it. 1. Buy a converted camera from them that they have already done. 2. Send in your camera to have converted. I know that there is at least one place that converts Pentaxes. There is a guy on PF that had one converted and there used to be a guy that would do it for a couple hundred (haven't seen him around lately). This is an old thread, but the links still work: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/3344-pentax-ir-conversion.html#post439667 And the place linked: http://spencerscamera.com/default.aspx On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 1:02 PM, David J Brooks pentko...@gmail.com wrote: I looked it to converting mine a while back, and the places i contacted said they did not do Pentax cameras.

Re: Quake: 3 weeks later
A big happy birthday Dave have fun with the goal setting :-) Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: David Mann d...@multisport.net.nz To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Sunday, September 26, 2010 3:44 AM Subject: Quake: 3 weeks later Hi all, I have a few spare moments so I thought I might write an update on how things are going here. I've been quiet lately but for good reasons, things have been settling down and slowly returning towards normality. Last Monday we moved into a temporary office. The building that houses our usual office sustained a lot of water damage after the earthquake activated the sprinkler system. The boss has been trying to get out of the lease (for this and other reasons) but it looks like they'll have it ready for use soon, possibly this coming week. The temporary office space is working fairly well, except for the distractions of having everyone together in the same room. The only major annoyance is the IT situation; our main office server is still in its temporary location and it's very slow to access files over the VPN connection. We are still getting aftershocks. The biggest ones are about magnitude 4.5 and we'd be getting maybe one or two of those a day with a handful of smaller ones, mostly around 3.5. The scientists say that the aftershocks are mostly generated at each end of the main fault, and one end is uncomfortably close to the city. I don't know how accurate the location data is, but when I put the coordinates into Google Maps it sometimes shows the location directly under people's houses in the outer suburbs! The shakes don't worry me so much now but the noise that precedes them still gets the adrenalin running. The sound is hard to describe, it's a bit like thunder. We haven't heard anything from the insurers yet. They have tens of thousands of claims to process and a broken chimney isn't going to be high on the priority list so we're expecting to have to wait a while. There is a silver lining though, due to the cost of repairing or replacing chimneys we are likely to qualify for an energy efficient heat pump as a replacement. You may find the insurance situation for natural disasters to be interesting. The first $100,000 (+tax) of damage to houses is covered by the government-run Earthquake Commission (EQC), plus another $20,000 for personal effects. That wouldn't even cover half the value of most houses, so private insurance will cover any shortfall if the damage is bad enough. I don't remember the current estimate of total damage across the city, it's a few billion dollars which really isn't too bad when you consider what it could have been. I've taken tomorrow (Monday) off as it's my birthday. I also thought a four day weekend would be nice :) We've had stunning weather over the past few days, and I got to meet adventurer extraordinaire Steve Gurney at an outdoors expo. I bought a copy of his autobiography because he said he'd sign it. He's turned to coaching and motivational speaking now and the bastard has got me thinking about goals again. I mean that in the nicest possible way, I have tremendous respect for him and I do need a kick in the pants from time to time.

This weekend was the annual Basilone weekend in Raritan, with races on Saturday,aI concert by the Quantico Marine Corps Band at the community college and fireworks on Saturday night, and a big parade on Sunday. To give you an idea of the parade, there were eight bagpipe and drum bands, not to mention the three high school bands, two middle school band, the Qantico Band, several fife and drum corps, and numerous military and veteran units (as well as a large Rolling Thunder contingent). John Seda, who played Sgt Basilone in The Pacific, was one of many honored guests riding in convertibles.
