Last year I conducted a test together with a friend to find out the IR-capabilities of the Canon 10D. The weather was cloudy but the sun was shining from time to time. We used my 50mm/f1.8 and tested two different filters, my friend's Hoya 72R and my Wratten 87 equivalent Lee polyester filter. The camera was set to ISO 200, f5.6 and 2 s exposure, time was around 16:00. Conclusion: The photos turned out quite well, but I have to admit that the sky isn't as black as it is on IR film. I can't remember if the sky was blue with some clouds or if it was more overcast although I believe the former. Here is the photo with the Wratten 87: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/529084 And here the result with the Hoya 72R: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/529080 -- Best regards, Dieter -- Best regards, Dieter * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
