I don't need a Sony nex. I already have a *ist-D, K10D & K20D (along
with the K-3 I'm currently using as my main body).
If I can find someone who does "a good, reasonably priced, job on Pentax
DSLRs", I'd rather have one of them converted, especially if I can use
Larry's idea of having it converted to full spectrum & using an IR
filter on the front of the lens so I could still use it as a visible
light backup.

A simple mirrorless without ibis makes for an easier conversion. Something
to consider. Get a Sony nex with adapter and look at it as an ir back.
That's what I would do since the optical viewfinder becomes useless with
full spectrum.

Back when I had a working IR K-5, I bought a large sheet of plastic IR
filter, about 1/8" thick to make filters for speedlights and studio flashes
so that they would only transmit in IR. It was much cheaper than buying
the 3" squares of gel from B&H. If anybody needs some, in order to have an
IR only light source, let me know.
If I were to do something like convert on of my old bodies to IR (or full
spectrum), who is doing a good, reasonably priced, job on Pentax DSLRs
these days?
My preference for an IR body would be to have the body be full spectrum,
and if I need IR only, or visible only, just put a filter in front of the
lens. With live view, IR only is much less of an issue. I had some
difficulty finding IR block filters. Does anyone have specific
recommendations for such?
