Fascinating, but you would have to be quite brave to attempt that! Even with
the long exposures, Mark's approach is better for the faint hearted. The
graveyard scenes are quite spooky. IR is the only way to make anyone imagine
what snow would look like in Phalaborwa! Now, what can you tell me about
doing
something similar with a K110D before I unload mine?

Subject: *ist D: Complete step by step conversion to infrared
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.

If you need some inspiration, here is a portfolio from a guy who used
a converted *ist D

I got one myself, for this purpose, and it is one of the "yet to do"
projects on my list.
