Way back when I first saw your ir pics I though you were using film. I didn't know it was a conversion or how the process/mechanics worked.

I found this for my camera.

It's like open heart surgery and total commitment. I was hoping it was just a filter on top of the lens or something. anyways, im just gonna have to enjoy your IR photos. these were real good. See ya.

You can do long exposures using a filter but it obviously limits what you can do and the results you can get. I got mine converted through a company because I would probably destroy the camera if I did it myself.

I have an older sony 5N. Plus this camera is no longer under warranty but works great. I would be willing to convert that one. I found this guy last night. That is where I found the '590 super color' $250 I asked you about. Which sounds reasonable for the work it involves. It's like getting a whole new camera. Lots of creative possibilities.

Yes sounds reasonable. Just make sure the guy knows what he is doing. There is a whole section in Lifepixel about people who have done a bad job and wrecked people's cameras.

yikes. thanks. i'll do my research before making a decision.
