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 conversion allow you to handhold most IR exposures and use the camera's metering system.
