Thanks David (and others). The reason for looking at a conversion is that your
view through the finder remains the same which gives you the option to work in
lower light conditions. I'd be interested in trying IR flash and I'm not sure
whether I'd be able to focus in light that dim (I.e. dim

Conversions are expensive. Since the sensor sees in the IR, I think
all they do is remove the filter that blocks some of the IR. Try a
filter like the Hoya 72 which blocks out the other light. The
advantage of the conversion is that more IR gets to the sensor. Youc

I looked it to converting mine a while back, and the places i
contacted said they did not do Pentax cameras. Not enough people would
buy them to convert.
I had a reply typed up but never sent it.:-)
I just used a tripod and bought a Hoya R72 filter. It did a really
good job. A photo i took at

This might just mean Doug and Mark have a soft spot for IR photography :-)
I can only comment on one place that I know that does conversions:

filter, rather than taking the old IR blocking filter off, because using the
sunny 16 rule it seems to be about ISO 8.

There are two ways to do it. 1. Buy a converted camera from them
that they have already done. 2. Send in your camera to have
converted.
I know that there is at least one place that converts Pentaxes. There
is a guy on PF that had one converted and there used to be a guy that
would do it for
