Very cool. Did you buy it converted or did you have it converted. > > In the image the camera is fitted with the 18-55 f3.5-5.6. I've since been > using it more with the 17-70 f4.

I don’t remember having quite that color cast for the short time I had an IR enabled K-5, did yours just have the IR blocking filter removed? I still have a bunch of IR pass filter plastic that I bought for making filters for my studio strobes, as well as speedlights. If you want some for making an IR flash, send me a message offlist. Another cool toy I have is an array of IRED that I can use for doing video in infra red without blinding people. Since I hacked that together ten years ago, it turns out that they have become commercially available, such as this one: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-work-lights/11-inch-off-road-infrared-led-light-bar-18w/1607/3704/?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=base&utm_content=LBIR-850-35&utm_campaign=GoogleBaseChild&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5qrXBRC3ARIsAJq3bwrL7hvSlPGB8vyTXu-AMkgjQpPW1h2JPduMg27Sp5M6DHkzvb8r0LQaArctEALw_wcB > - Mark > > > > > > > > > --- > This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. > http://www.avg.com > > > -- > 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. > -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- 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.
