A few months ago I had my Nikon P6000 converted to IR by this guy: http://www.isaacszabo.com/infrared.html Don't know if he does full spectrum conversions, but worth asking. Very fast turn around, good price and no problems with it at all. I'm planning on sending my K5 to him when I upgrade

I tried that combo as well, probably after seeing your success with it, Dave. Definitely an easily workable way to play with IR. Paul via phone > On Jun 11, 2016, at 7:55 AM, David J Brooks wrote: > > John, i found the combo of istd and the R72 filter worked great, best >

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

I had Lifepixel convert my Lumix GX8 and sold the Oly E-PL5. I went full spectrum. I bought into the mirrorless conversion for ease of use. I cannot get it straight if Pentax live view would work as well. I read some articles and I have a K-x. It is moot for now tho. You may know better since

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. On Jun 10, 2016 6:40 PM, "Larry Colen"
