You need to either put an IR pass in front of the sensor, replacing the IR stop filter or put an IR pass filter on the lens. The later gives more flexibility as you change change filters easily but negates the value of the SLR finder. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- 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.
