I used to use the *istD with an RM90 and also with an R72. The filters
worked great with it and made for some interesting images. I since
switched to an IR converted K10d which is very good. I've been tempted
to convert my K01 to IR and sell the K10d. Aside from a better sensor,
the K01's focus peaking would eliminate the need to adjust focus to
compensate for the difference between IR and visible light, since the
image that is "peaked" would be IR. I also wonder if the K01 would be
more accurate metering IR vs the K10D.

The istD was a great camera to use for IR with the hoya R72 filter. I
found that cameras i subsequently bought , the higher the MP the worse
they were using the screw on filter.
I now have a converted Canon G3 which does an ok job.

Something I've had a passing interest in for years, but never tried, and I
might have missed the boat to do so easily.
I understand my K7 has a very strong built in IR filter, so is not the ideal
camera for the job unless you permanently modify it. I've seen some really
nice photos taken with an unmodified K20D with an IR lens filter, so I
presume the older models didn't have such a strong in-built filter to make
this possible.
However, somewhere tucked away I have a set of said IR lens filters. I have
a tripod. So although I won't get away with anything like the short shutter
times you can with a modified camera, it's certainly something I can have a
go at.
