I have never regretted buying my converted K10D. I have seen the dreaded
K-10 banding problem in the IR shots once or twice, but as with the
regular K10D it has not proven to be a problem and only arises when I
try to really push the exposure. I did not know that they calibrated the
AF system to a specific lens. I have used mostly the 16-45 f4 and 18-55.
IMO, the 18-15 is better in this case. The 16-45 gets a bright spot in
the center - more than a spot, an area in the center of the frame. Look
at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in this series for an example -

After that trip I started using the 18-55 and did not see that problem
again.
Have fun!

Sent an email inquiry. They will do a K10D conversion, with 720 filter
and set up focus for one lens,( i'll probably get the 16-45 done,) for
$200 plus shipping, $40 Now i just have to decide if i want to do
this. If i do, my G3 will be for sale. Dave
