I really liked the IR images that the *ist-D took. I mostly used an
RM-90 filter (since I inherited oen - my father used to use it with
Kodak HIE) but I later used an R-72. Very long shutter speeds with the
RM90, better with the R-72. I now have an IR converted K-1)D, but I use
it much less than I thought I would. The *ist-D was nice iwth the
filters, but the workflow was a PITA, swapping on a filter that did not
allow you to see your composition before shooting.

I should add that the *ist D and a filter makes a great infrared
camera WITHOUT conversion too, as our own Mark Cassino shows:

The only disadvantage is that you have longer shutter speeds so it
normally needs to be tripod mounted. Doing the conversion allow you to
handhold most IR exposures and use the camera's metering system.

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.

Zero chance of that - you would not be surprised to learn :-)
Thanks for posting this, Darren - maybe you got me a customer...
What I'd really like is someone who doesn't mind the green duct tape on the
grip

(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.
