I was just cleaning up my office and came across my Hoya R72 IR filter. I've used this a little bit with my Sony DSC-F717 and thought I'd give it a try with the *ist D.
>From playing around in the house I have to say that it looks promissing. My only IR sources right now are remotes and incadescent light bulbs and the *ist D sees those just fine. Unlike my Sony DSC-F717 it also autofocuses with IR and I seem to get reasonable although not fast exposure speeds. I'll have to try this out in daylight. Has anyone else tried this out and how were your results? I'm also curious to know if it works with a "real" IR filter -- the R72 is a near-IR filter that still lets some reds through. alex
