Considering that Ann has an *ist D for sale right now, I thought this post might be of interest. Make her an offer quick before she decides to keep it and do this herself. :) (PS.. *ist DL and DS are going from $119-125 on KEH, but they have NO *ist D for some odd reason. That odd reason may be the link below.)
As you may recall, the *ist D sensor was much more sensitive to infrared light even BEFORE removing the hot filter, so this makes it a great camera to mod for IR. You can pay some place to do the conversion, or you can follow these step-by-step instructions yourself. https://sites.google.com/site/vincenzomiceli/pentax--ist-d-ir-mod If you need some inspiration, here is a portfolio from a guy who used a converted *ist D http://www.jrsphotos.com/lrg/portfolio/infrared/index.html Another article on converting an *ist D http://www.ephotozine.com/article/convert-your-digital-slr-to-infrared-8725 I got one myself, for this purpose, and it is one of the "yet to do" projects on my list. -- Nothing is sure but death and Pentaxes. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
