Neil,
Its not just wether I can shoot IR with the A2E .. I have to walk
with a cane and the A2E is just a little to awkward for me... I've had a
few recommend the EOS 620 as being a much lighter camera, but also able to
take a little more punishment, I can use my EOS lenses.. and best of all. I
can shoot IR without any fogging!!!!!
Anyone interested in an a well used A2E body..
works Flawlessly.. I do have a Paypal account.
If anyone has a 620 with a good wide angle lens. we could talk about a trade..
