My latest enablement - infrared converted K01:

http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/ir-converted-pentax-k01?blog=9

I've wanted to get back to a larger sensor digital IR camera since my K-10D 
started acting up. The K01 is perfect since it is mirrorless and both focus and 
exposure are directly determined by the sensor using the actual IR light. The 
K01 sensor is also very good, almost on part with the K5. Pluis - already 
owning one also made it an easy decision. The only concern I had was using it 
outdoors - in bright light I can't see the LCD well enough to compose. The 
solution was an inexpensive Xit LCD loupe which makes for an excellent finder.
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. Both lenses have modest IR hot spots but are 
pretty good.

A few sample images:

Very nice images.  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:
