I did some IR work with the R-72 on an *istD as well. It was a nice combination. Now I have that very expensive filter sitting in a drawer. On Sep 14, 2013, at 9:44 PM, Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net wrote: I really liked the IR images that the *ist-D took. I mostly used an RM-90 filter

I've never seen a dslr torn down to the sensor and pcb board before. quite honestly, an ist conversion doesn't look that hard if you take great pains to put everything back together in the same order. that said, I don't think I will be trying this. I guess the ist didn't have shake reduction, so

I should add that the *ist D and a filter makes a great infrared camera WITHOUT conversion too, as our own Mark Cassino shows: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/cat49/ The only disadvantage is that you have longer shutter speeds so it normally needs to be tripod mounted. Doing the

Fascinating, but you would have to be quite brave to attempt that! Even with the long exposures, Mark's approach is better for the faint hearted. The graveyard scenes are quite spooky. IR is the only way to make anyone imagine what snow would look like in Phalaborwa! Now, what can you tell me

Pretty much the same story, Alan. The K110D had a weaker IR cut filter compared to the cameras that came later. You can modify them, by removing the filter, or use as-is with longer exposures. http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/174771-landscape-cachamay-falls-ir.html On Sat, Sep

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
